hey guys, its been a little while scince i have been on here. i was shot in the left thigh, left hip, and left hand back on december 13th. this asshole broke into my house while my wife and i were sleeping. once i realized what was happening i got my glock g19 (9mm compact) and waited in the hallway to see what he was going to do. he started to go through some drawers in the living room and then started to unplug my flat screen. i turned on the light, aimed my firearm and yelled at him to stay ware he was and get on the ground. i think he was fucked up on something crazy because he just turned around and pulled out a beretta 9mm and just held it down next to his side and just stared at me like i was a ghost. i yelled at him again to get down and at this point my wife was already on the phone with 911. then my wife yelled to me that the cops were responding and he raised his gun. i kept my aim but took a step back into the hallway to get some coverage and as i did so he fired. hit me in the thigh. i fired back and got him in his upper left leg and his side with the first 2 rounds. at this point i wanted him dead but in cali, even when fired apon, i have to aim for the waist down to not get some harrasment and a charge. he fell down and was sorta taking a knee so to speak. i started to yell even louder to just calm the f down and lay down. he started to get up and i was all hopped up on adrenalin and didnt want him to move. then he just stood up and tried to make a run for it out the back door. the problem is that he came in through the front window. the back door was locked and had an electrical grade schedual 40 grey pvc pipe on the lower track and it wouldnt open. he paniced and fired 4 more rounds. the second hit was in my hip. as i was starting to lean to the side to sqat and touch my side the 3rd hit was in my hand. the other 2 went through the hallway wall and exited in my geust bathroom shattering the mirror. it happend in about 2 seconds. i fired back 3 times and didnt miss. it was the worst night of my life. that fuck survived but will live like hell for what he did. he lost his right leg because 2 rounds went through his right knee and the 3rd hit him in the stomach. he was charged with armed robbery, attemped murder, assault with a deadly weapon, aggrivated assault, tresspassing, under the influence of a narcotic, and possesion of a stolen firearm. he got 65 years without paroll. i had to have bone taking from my right hip and grafted into my hand because the round went through my third long bone metacarpal. ( THE RING FINGER BONE IN THE PALM) they took a nerve from my left calf to replace what was destroyed, and a spare tendon from my left forearm to make my wrist work somewhat. to top it all off, after 3 years of being unemployed, i had recently got a job at the home depot at there new RDC (rapid deployment center) a super efficient distribution center, on november 1st. had training up to december 10th. got promoted twice within that time and was in charge of a 12 million dollar conveyor system which was the heart of the plant essentially. had opening day on the 13th of december.... that night is when all this happened. didnt work long enough for FMLA or med leave of abscence. i was granted leave but its no pay. i plan to return on march 5th. i will be behind but i plan to get back to ware i was and prove to them that i was given that position the first time for a reason. it all kinda sucks but i am just glad i'm not dead, and that my shooting range sessions paid off! sorry for the long ass post but it totally helps with my ptsd to just sit and go through that night via my key board and move on.
i have a small chance of ever riding my bike again because i cant squeeze or make a fist with my clutch hand but that and keeping my moble automotive repair buisness alive just makes me that much more eager to keep up with therapy and prove them wrong.
i have new pics of the coupe, my hand, hip, and thigh, and alot of new ?'s now so look out for my posts.
peace out!
