MyPTSD Pro
I will start this off by saying no one died during their visit. I live a half mile off the highway in the woods because my PTSD made it where I did not play well with others prior to being medicated. It seemed like the best thing for me to do was buy property that I self isolated. Being so far off the highway means there are only three types of people that come down my driveway (1 they were invited 2 they are lost or 3 they are up to no good.) That being said the Jehovah’s Witness decided today was the day they wanted to come to my house and try to tell me about their church.
My service dog barked because someone was coming up my driveway. I looked out my window and see two men and a woman step out of a fairly decent car coming up to my door and knock. I didn’t answer the door and assumed they would leave in a couple minutes but they didn’t. About 5 minutes go by and the hyper vigilance wakes up in me so I grab my pistol and two spare magazines and walk out the back door. I walked to the front corner of my house where I would have cover and peeked around the corner with my pistol ready and asked “can I help you?” So immediately after seeing me with the pistol they all three throw their hands up and say “please don’t shoot.” One chimed in “we are here to talk about the Lord.” I replied “well you almost met him.” I said I think it best you leave. They almost ran to get back in their car and left immediately. My guess is they won’t be back.
Before any of you say I was too tough on them know that I was an undercover narcotics and swat officer for far too long. I have very valid reasons for always carrying a weapon. I look at it now and can laugh at it because no one was shot and my guess is they learned a valuable lesson to not just come down a driveway that you can’t see the house from the roadway. I’m sharing because maybe someone else will get a laugh to brighten their day.
Cheers
