Yeah, never a good thing to have to draw a weapon in anger on someone, even if it ends so-to-speak well (i.e., no one hurt/shot).
I found myself in a similar situation a number of years back where I was renting a room in Lexington, KY from a woman who ostensibly owned a house (I was working a remote site flight test program there, so I did not have a permanent residence in Lexington). Long story short, the woman actually did NOT own the house, she was renting it herself; she was taking rent payments from me and another tenant, but never paying the rent on the house to the actual owner/landlord. So, one evening I came back from work to find everything unexpectedly piled on the lawn and a constable standing there overseeing the eviction. As if this wasn't bad enough, as night fell, random people started showing up and began -- literally -- trying to steal the possessions scattered about the lawn. When I confronted them, they basically ignored me, told me the property was considered 'abandoned,' and merrily went about loading it in their vehicles until they could hold no more.
I have a CCL issued by the state of Texas, which has reciprocity with (among numerous other states) Kentucky. Fortunately, the house was located on a dead-end cul de sac, and there were other vehicles that had been parked for the evening along either side of the street -- meaning there was only one way out of the neighborhood by vehicle, and only a path wide enough for a single vehicle to exit between the parked cars. While on the cell phone with the police, I stood in the middle of that path and pretty-much dared the first woman trying to haul away her 'booty' to run me over (picture the guy standing down a tank in Tiananmen Square). I was literally chest to grill with the truck, so if she'd so much as revved the engine, I'd pretty-much decided I was going to draw my pistol and shoot her -- not display the weapon in an effort to bluff her; not fire any warning shots: point it at her and pull the trigger. I wasn't even going to wait to see if she was bluffing the charge...
Fortunately, she simply tried to stare me down... Which gave the police enough time to arrive and force everyone to unload their vehicles before chasing them away. Still, it made for a long and tiresome night for me, as I thanklessly stood guard over everyone's possessions until they could be carried off by their rightful owners...
