Attempted Robbery!!!

Tonight was a pretty shitty night. It could have turned out much worse than just me being a little freaked out, but luck was on my side. Just tonight I heard a knock at my back door. I thought it was my friend Andrew as he is the only one who comes in that way. My wife and daughter just went to sleep and my mother in law was sleeping in the basement at the time. It was about 11:00 pm.

Luckily I didn't open the back door, but decided to go out the front and call him around. When I went out the front door I noticed the front gate was opened. This is out of the ordinary as Andrew comes in the back gate if he is going to come in the rear door. For some reason I didn't clue in and walk out through the already opened front gate and half way into the back yard. I yelled for him to come to the front door as I waited in the dark alley beside my house and garage for him to walk around to meet me. I got a little nervous when there was a delay for him to come around, and it sounded like more than one person walking by the sound of the unraked leaves that litter my backyard. I was too late to react as from around the corner came three guys with masks over their faces and two of them carrying guns! The third person could have had one, but I didn't notice at the time. I believe his hands were in his pockets. The first thought that popped in my mind was 'not again, I can't believe this is happening!'.

The taller of the three walked up to me quickly with the gun pointed at my face and demanded I give him all my weed. I told him I had no weed and then he took a step forward and placed the gun at my temple. He demanded that I go get it from inside the house. The other guy with the gun stood about three feet from me and the other about five feet. I don't really know what the other two were doing as I was focusing on the gun pressing against my temple.

The weird thing was everything seemed to go in slow motion. I thought out many scenarios in my head before reacting in a split second. Normally i'm pretty dopey after a shot of methadone, but my adrenaline was pumping and there was no way I was going to lead three robbers into my familys home.

Quickly I reached up under the gun man's arm and grabbed for it. I felt the cold steel in my hand and thrusted it away from my head. Then a million thoughts went through my mind in an instant. I thought if I run in the house they could follow me in and then my family would be in danger. If I ran away and over to the neibours house they would probably chase me and it would get them away from my front door. I decided to run and as I ran I yelled 'shoot me if you want'. Now that I think about it I can't believe I yelled that! As I ran I had a vision of bullets going through my back, but not a sound was heard. I stopped at the end of my drive way and turned around and they look confused like they didn't know what to do and were not trying to catch me. I guess they were not expecting it to go that way. I continued up to my next door neibours house, but was quiet as I didn't want the police to be called. They walked quickly by me and the shorter of the three yelled 'were leaving' in a scared tone. I watched them walk far enough away from the house, then ran to my door and closed it up tight. Luckily no police came from the incident.

Now that it is all over I think about what happened and something just didn't seem right. The gun that I made contact with my hand was metal, but when I thrusted it away from me it felt very light. Also, the metal was very smooth and it looked like the gun was brand new. Both guns that the two had were silver plated and looked identical. I am not a gun expert, but I have had a few in my time and I know for a fact most the guns on the street are usually old looking and not brand new semi automatics. In Canada guns like that are hard to come by, and for them both to have identical guns makes me think they could have been pellet guns.

I don't know for sure, but that is the feeling I get when I remember back to making contact with the gun. It didn't feel as solid as a regular 9mm. Who knows, it could have been the real deal - but I thought I would mention it. Anyways, nothing was stolen, no one heard anything and the best part is my family is safe. I am on guard now and if they come back they will be very sorry.

I think I know who set this up. I have an X friend whom I had a falling out with recently go to jail for cocaine possession and traffiking. Just yesterday he got denied bail so that means he is going to loose his house, car, and anything else that he thinks defines him as a successful drug dealer lol. His girlfriend is taking care of his business for him while he is gone but she is not doing too good of a job as she is getting 'high on her own supply' as you could say. He needs money to maintain what he has accumulated so I figure he decided to try it out on me. Actually a couple other people that know him have been robbed lately, so it all fits.

Well, I just thought I would let you all know what happened about two hours ago. I can't really tell everyone about it so I figured I could get it off my chest by writing it out. It seems when you right out things you can better understand what happend.

I have learned something important from this experience. Always be on guard when drugs or money is involved, be careful and trust no one.

Hey TGT!

YOu know what man I would of done that same thing... I was in a situation like that 2 years ago with a shot gun in the middle of winter cept the guy was there threating my father for money. It was around 12 at night and Someone was knocking on our door and everyone was just laying down so no one got up to answer it. Then I herd a smash and I got up and grabbed a 1' mag flash light (cop style) and bolted up stairs. I seen one of the big front windows was smashed right out. It was really snowing hard and I could see foot steps around the corner so I thought it was my nebighor. As I came running around the corner in my PJ's there was a guy starting a truck. I approched the truck and this crazy nut job steped out with a shot gun :S He came within 2 feet of me with it and was rambling how my father owd him cash blah blah blah.. Ohh btw my GF had followed me up and outside and was now just running to get my dad.. Neways as he grew more angry and less aware I pushed the barrel aside witch was at my chest and smashed him in the head with the flash light. I wont say what happined next but No one was shot or killed just mabye hurt. None the less this gun was real and I was so shook when it was all over and I was holding it. Cuz I honestly was stareing death in the face.

I am not growing at my house. When I grow no one knows of it but me. I am too old to not know the first rule of growing. This has happened because of where I live and what is going on at the moment. I can't elaborate as I don't want to give up my identity, but trust me, this was not from a mistake I made.

Weed22Man, i'm glad you had luck on your side that night too! I guess i'm not the only one with things like this that happen - so I feel a little better. It is strange how you react and things seem to slow down when you are in shock. Pretty good survival mechanism I must say!

I know, I wish I could convince my wife. We use to have an english mastiff, but unfortunately one day my daughter, whom was three years old at the time stepped on the dog while she was sleeping. The dog woke up startled and took a nip out of her cheek. If the dog wanted to hurt her she would have tore her face off. I think it was just that the dog was scared and responded by nipping. After that happened my wife made me get rid of her. She's on a farm now and very happy. We got the Mastiff because we heard they were good with children, but this dog had no papers. Next time if we buy a dog I am going to spend the money and get one with a known background.

Thanks for the kind words and ya, I can't believe I grabbed the gun either. Might not have been the smartest thing to do, but it felt right at the time. I don't think inexperienced robbers know that it is a natural reaction to push something out of your face when your being threatened so close. If they did it by standing a ways back and pointing it and then threatening it might have had a diiferent outcome. I guess they watch too much tv. Oh well, glad to be here in my room typing again, alive and well.

It takes alot of balls to shoot someone, especially point blank and keep your eyes open. Especially over weed. Not to say that people haven't killed for less, but I do know that a silver pistol can be had at any sporting goods store for cheap, and all they shoot is bbs/pellets from a c02 cartridge.
I think that this is a lesson learned, as far as your family go. As a husband(well..commonlaw..but yeah) and father, I can't imagine what you were thinking at the time. How much weed did you smoke once everything settled down? Although, I don't know that I'd want to smoke with all that paranoia & stuff..but I'd get stupid drunk, though.

gmb, ya I figured no one wants to do life for a bag of weed, or even pounds for that matter so I took a chance. It was iether that or let them in my home and risk my family. Who knows what would have happened when they knew they were behind closed doors and no one could here. I live in Canada, and it is very hard to get new shiny guns here. Pellet guns are everywhere and real popular for robberies because if they get caught it doesn't seem as bad, but I think that doesn't matter as they will get the same charge - but they don't seem to know that. Another reason I thought it was a pellet gun was it felt very light. You know a real gun when you hold the barrel feels like a cunk if solid dense metal. This had a metal feel, but felt light. Also not as cold as it should have for the night being so brisk. I could be wrong though, somehow it makes me feel better thinking it was a bb/pellet gun lol. And no, I didn't smoke any weed last night after it happened because I wanted to stay clear. I am now after I slept a bit, lot's and lot'l and lots..........

2krazy, that's 2 krazy! lol. I knew it had something to do with the mother-in-law! Thanks for cheering me up.

Pieceofmyheart, thanks for saying it's brave but I think anyone would have done that in that situation with a seven year old in the house (not to mention the mother-in-law - the rath of it all after). But I do like to think I did the right thing and took the right choices as nothing became of it. I do now have to find out who it was so I can make things right again. I just can't sleep not knowing who they are. I got idea's, but I have to prove it first. You are right, I would love to meet each one of them seperately without the weapons and see what kind of men they really are.

Thanks all for the response, It feels good to talk to people about it. And now that I just smoked a half quarter I feel much much better.

Man where I live every one is looking for a caper.

Now a few note to take if you have a gate around get yourself big dogs.

that are one family type of dogs.

Take your wife to the shooting range and teach her how to shhot.

Buy guns and never at night for what ever reason come out at night without it.

Never underestimate what ever someone pulls out on you if you aint holding shit in your hand.

Lastly you grow and can't call the cop's if you get robbed.

I have family wife and daughter in the house WIFE is a good shoot with the glock 40

and have big cane corso's and pitbulls inside and out.

Good thing everything turned out alright.


I always sleep with the 12 gauge by my bed, just incase. A pistol may not be much for intimidation.... but most people break when they are looking down the barrel of a tactical 12 guage shotgun.

Jam Master Jaco

You sir definately need a firearm. Can you imagine the look on those dumbasses faces after they ordered you to go back inside to get your weed and you came back and blasted them with a 12 gauge?

Mr. Nevermind

Something is a bit suspect. You must know the people that did it. Reason i say that is a random robber will come up and say " give me your money!" . Most dont go to rob specifically for drugs unless they know the person they are robbing has drugs on them or at their house. So more than likely its a dew of your broke friends that tried to rob you. They knew you to have weed so thats exactly what they wanted.

If you grow , chances are you did it to yourself. tell noone and noone will have a reason to rob you. Or is you sell its someone yo sell to, wither way... you know who they are
