One real incident and one false alarm.
Real incident - I lived in a shitty neighborhood in Chicago. I had taken the trash out and failed to securely shut the back door. I was in the apartment alone, both my roommates were out, and I heard somebody rummaging around in the kitchen. I knew I had three choices - do nothing, run out the front door, or go for my roommate's gun. I ran for the gun, grabbed it, chambered a round and went charging toward the kitchen. At some point during all this the intruder fled. Didn't take anything I'm aware of and I never saw who it was.
False alarm - my infamous refrigerator incident. Short version - alarm went off, I charged downstairs half asleep, saw it was a false alarm, turning the alarm off, accidentally discharged revolver when I tried to decock it. That's the kind of shit that happens in real life when you're half asleep and freaked out.
