Landlord Came In While Asleep; I Heard A Man’s Voice. I Opened My Bedroom Door And Pointed My Pistol At Him…

In NM btw.

I was out until around 6AM the night before at my office finishing up paperwork from a surprise board inspection at my clinic and pharmacy. I went home, took off my clothes, shut the bedroom door, and crashed.

I woke up around 8 or 9 AM hearing what sounded like a man’s voice in my kitchen; then I hear papers ruffling around in my back office/2nd bedroom.

At this point; I’m pretty sure I’m getting robbed.

I creep out of bed (naked as a jay-bird) and get my 9mm pistol from the nightstand. I can now hear them whispering outside my bedroom door.

I figure it’s now or never. I open the door and point it right at some guy and say “the f*** are you doing”.

He puts his hands up and says ”woah woah, we’re with the apartment complex; we’re doing inspections”.

I respond: “what inspection?”

He responds “we sent out a notice”.

I lower my pistol, and respond “you guys scared the shit out of me; you almost got shot. Let me get some clothes on”. (Since I’m naked)

I open my door again and they are gone.

I’m like, WTH? Oh well. And go back to get some Much needed sleep. This was Thursday the 9th btw.

Onto Friday the 10th: The next morning I wake up, and my car has been towed. (I think retaliation)

Now to yesterday, Wednesday the 15th: I get a notice taped to my door that says the following:

“THREE (3)-DAY NOTICE OF SUBSTANTIAL VIOLATION OF RENTAL AGREEMENT”

“…you, or someone with your consent, did the following: endangering the safety of another by handling or using a firearm or other deadly weapon in a negligent manner.”

Then below that it has a check box next to an item that states:

“Unlawful use of a deadly weapon”

Then lastly,

“The owner may terminate the rental agreement 3 days from the date of service”

Obviously, they missed my door when they put up the notices. (They usually tape them to the door, it’s what they did last year).

It appears they are trying to evict me for self-defense. Questions:

1) What type of lawyer do I need? 2) Am I likely to prevail? (I know there is no 100%) 3) What damages, if any, do I have?
