Uncle,
This was a few years ago, hopefully I've learned a few things since. I was watching a young whitetail doe cross the back pasture. There was a gun shot and a puff of rock dust followed from the corner of the field stone house, (my young sons bedroom). At this time there were always big hunting parties hanging around so I ran through the November snow toward where I felt the shot came from. Sure enough there was a hunting party of 6 or 8 guys. I was some hot, and I aggresivly gave them a chance to admit if any of the party had fired at my house?!
One big bearded member of the party was equaly agressive in return and refused to answer the question. The other guys were pretty quiet. So I zeroed in on him. He was running his mouth and waving his gun barrel around, so I just reached up, gave it a quick twist and wrenched in from his gloved hands. This surprized him considerably, and he shut up. The rest of the party reacted like naughty kids caught in the act. I sniffed the muzzle of the barrel, jacked a shell out and completed my pop quiz of these hunters. It wasen't them. Things calmed down a bit and I returned the Winchester to big beard. They never came back as a hunting party. It was one of those things that helped to establish the farm as more than a free fire zone. It was a very bad idea to grab that mans rifle, and I regret it today. I was unarmed myself though, and 8 to 1 ood's are very poor. I figured that I was already a victum, and it was time for that to stop. The model 94 has that funny little lever action and I knew that if he didn't let go immediatly, a quick twist would bend his fingers backwards and force him to release. But I never looked to see if the hammer was back. I did not lose my temper, but was dangerously angry. He did run his mouth, but ultimatly showed better judgement than me. I thought I was just defending the farm. And so i did!
Take care Uncle, Jared
