“It really makes you mad thinking that somebody came in like that while you were sleeping,” Remer said.
Remer was startled out of his sleep by some strange creaking noises he thought were caused by the wind. When he tried to open his door, he found it had been tied shut.
“I could see the rope there and thought, who the hell is playing this joke on me,” Remer said.
Then, Remer heard an unfamiliar voice in the hallway. He grabbed his .357 handgun from the closet and chased the intruder down the stairs and out the front door, firing several shots at their stolen SUV on the way out.

Along came the .357 SIG and now we all must elaborate somewhat. Unless we happen to be the Jurassic Press, that is. All in all, a good enough job, Steve, so kudos to an old Vet. Don't think you are a Marine because I hear tell most of 'em not only think they'll get to use a piece but pray really really hard to do so.
