I had a freaky experience this past summer. A co-worker hired a man to cut down a dead tree in his yard, and when he called home to see how it was going, the guy was having a psychotic episode. I rode home with him and waited in his car with the cell phone while he went to talk to the guy. I won't go into details, but the tree guy was out of his mind, hallucinating, paranoid ideation, scarey stuff, and I called 911. The police took forever to get there, and in the meantime, the tree guy had a chain saw, which he never used, but scared the daylights out of me. My friend left a gun in the car while he talked to the tree guy, and I stood next to the car with the door open, holding the gun, watching in case it got violent. It felt really, really good to have that gun there. I wanted to leave, actually, but the guy's wife was out and he was afraid she would come home before the cops got there. I still think we should have gone down the block, I am glad I did not have to use the gun, but since I was stuck there with a psychotic stranger with a chain saw, and my idiotic friend (Brian), glad I had the gun!
