As we've had some coyote sightings in our neighborhood lately (and just found out that another CalCCW member that lives in the same neighborhood lost his cat coyotes a few months ago), I knew instantly what the threat was.

In a single (impressive) motion, I jumped off my bed grabbing my 1911 .45 which was right next to me in a drawer, and raced for the back door thinking I wouldn't be in time - but luckily I made it there as the coyote was about 3 feet from the sliding glass door. The F'er stood his ground even as he clearly saw me barreling towards him the last 15 feet before I got to the back door, and didn't back down until I banged my hand on the glass door as soon as I got to it - luckily for him he turned tail and cleared the block wall right as I opened the door letting my terrified puppy race back in the house.

Amazingly, I don't think the coyote did anything more than mouth him. Couldn't find any broken skin, but we'll take him to the vet tomorrow to make sure. I think he has a new outlook on life, and knows damn well I saved his ass tonight!

I know we live in their hunting ground, but the coyotes are getting out of hand here, even wandering the streets during the daytime - enough to prompt advisories from the PD and make the local news. Both PD and animal control responded and were pretty interested to hear about the encounter.

We live on a bluff overlooking a large wash which is a pipeline for varmints we've had a young mtn lion on the back hill, bobcats,foxes,coyotes,skunks,opossums in our yard.I purchased subsonic CCI 22 short & long CB ammo because it doesn't have a loud report I can fire them in a Remington Nylon Model 11 bolt action 22 or a couple of 22 handguns.In addition I have pellet rifles and a slingshot.
