I was twice before faced by an assailant, and both times I was well placed, in a defensive position, and when they heard my weapon chamber and saw the barrel, they changed their minds immediately. The last time, the assailant called the police and I wound up being confronted by a swat team and subsequently cuffed and placed into a police car. That is until, they saw the complainant. I was released immediately and said complainant was cuffed and put in the car. At no time did I have any doubt what my actions would be. I had a concealed weapons permit at that time, and now it looks as if I will have to renew it since one of my roomates is habitually leaving the back door open at night. I am going to put a good lock on my personal door, so I will be covered if anyone should come through it. It is worrisome to me because there is another female in our house, and I worry about her safety.
