True story...
A few months ago, I was at home after watching MNF and was about to retire for the evening. I had been at a sports bar earlier in the evening and had consumed a decent amount of chicken wings and alcohol (obviously cutting...).
It's right about 12 AM and my cell rings. It's an 800 #, then I recognize it... ADT is calling me. There's been a security breach at my work, one of the doors was opened.
I disconnect, grab my gun, my mag light, a blanket and my truck keys.
As I am flying to my place of business at double the speed limit, it occurs to me that I am still intoxicated. Granted, I am fully in control of my vehicle (even at the accelerated speeds), but I know my body.
As I approach the entrance to the business park, I come right up on a county sheriff that (it appears) is responding to the alarm. As soon as I see him, I turn on my hazards and fly past him. He had already slowed down as he saw me approaching at a high rate of speed, but I wasn't about to fuck around and let some assholes rob me again (Work had been broken in to about 6 weeks earlier).
I pull up to the rear of work and see a back door standing open. Same side of the building as the window which was broken and used as the point of entry for the first burglary.
I skid to a stop, lock n load and jump outta my truck.
I am quickly, but cautiously approaching the open door when the deputy pulls up and tells me to back off.
I identify myself as the business owner and that I am armed with a firearm that is loaded. The deputy had already exited his cruiser and had drawn his firearm. He now knows that I have a loaded weapon, so I cautiously put my arms out and point the weapon in a safe direction. He instructs me to surrender my weapon and I comply. He then instructs me to get back in my vehicle and stay put, I comply as well.
At this time another deputy has arrived on scene. Deputy #1 locks my gun in his car and they begin to enter the building.
I anxiously await for the deputies to complete their search. They emerge from the building and ask me to come inside. I do a thorough examination and nothing appear to have been stolen (the thieves got a PC in the first break in). I converse with the deputies and they ask me if I have been drinking.
Obviously, lying to them at this point isn't a good idea, so I tell them the truth. They start in on my with the, "Carry a gun while intoxicated and driving in excess of the speed limit" stuff.
I informed them of the previous break in and told them that I was alerted to the security breach via ADT and merely came to defend my work property.
One of the deputies asks to see my CCW. I inform him that I do not have a CCW and that I was not concealing the sidearm, but was only carrying and displaying it to protect myself and my property.
I got a bit of a lecture and they returned my gun + clip. They told me to go home and don't come back.
I thanked them, locked up, set the alarm and went home.
I then did the obvious.
I got everything I needed and spent the night at work, waiting for the shitbags to return.
Fortunately, the theives didn't come back.
