WOW! Was watching the news, when all of the sudden I hear multiple vehicles, and hard braking sounds coming from the front of the property, and within seconds the monitors came to life, and all of my security lights came on. Sending the spousal unit to secure the daughter element and move to the basement, I grabbed the scatter gun and went to the control room. To my surprise there are three State Police cruisers and two County Sheriff cruisers at the front of my property, headed up the drive.

Well, what has brought this on? I stood down the scatter gun, and waited just inside for their dismounted approach. Allowing them onto the porch and accessing the door bell as not to startle them.

After greeting them at the door, they were not in search of any drug dealer, crack house operation, or escaped convict, they informed me that a 911 call had been placed from my home phone without a response. I had no idea what brought this to be, so invited them in, offered them some coffee and fresh baked apple pie after retrieving the spousal unit and daughter element from the strong hold. Well, come to find out two important facts here. One is, since I am a registered weapons instructor, and a legal CCW carrier/instructor they would always respond to my place in force, and un-announced. I did not know this! And second, the daughter element had inadvertently pre-programmed the phone to a 'rocket dial setting' for 911 after watching some show about doing this, and actually bumped the rocket 911 #, thus placing the call to the center, then being unsure what to do, hung up. Well, she learned a few lessons as well yesterday evening.

I think that qualifies as fun for the whole family. I'm glad everything worked out.

I guess that gave the neighbors something to talk about...

Interesting to know that about their response practices. I wonder if that's national, state, or local?

In any case, it makes me think it's time for a talk with the kids about 911, when to call it, and what to do if you call it accidentally....
