Intruder Walks Into Wrong

Back in college my brother and I lived in a big apartment complex in a semi crappy neighborhood. We'd been having issues in the building with a prowler. Really annoyed us because the building outside door was supposed to stay locked but stupid kids in the building would keep propping the door open. This was bad because it would allow people from the neighborhood who did not belong to get in.

The prowler would walk into the building and try to get into people's apartments. The girls above us got robbed because they left their door unlocked and he got in.

Well interestingly enough my bro and I had just gotten our gun permits and joined a shooting/pistol club in the city.

Well one fine evening we are sitting in the living room cleaning and loading our weapons. He's got his Smith and Wesson .357 in his hand sitting on the couch near the door. I'm on the other side of the room and had just slid the magazine into my .45 calibre Sig. Well wouldn't you know it-- just then the door opens this little douch bag steps into the apartment with a hoodie up and dressed all in black.

I rack the slide on my pistol and ask him who the fuck he his. He stammers something about, "sorry wrong apartment". Then runs out the door. We hit the ground running up the stairs after him. With our guns concealed on us. He cuts around the corner we follow him at a distance all the while calling him out. He kept walking at a good pace we followed- not really close looking for an altercation but trying to put a scare into him. Which I think we did. Eventually he gave us the slip which in hindsight was a good thing.

But no more issues in the building after that night.

Probably more of a terrifying story for him than for us--- so sorry creepy home invader better luck next time.
