Appears you better be carrying a loaded one when you answer that knock at the door.

 

[Blue Tile Spook]

I do.

 

[tskin]

I do.

I'm starting to.

 

[RogerB]

considering our backyard is privacy fenced in, and acres upon acres of cornfield beyond that...

Anyone comes knocking on our backdoor at ANY hour will be suspect and could possibly hear the Thunder from my Bersa .45

I answer with my 12GA, unless I know ya. My back door is the only way to recieve anyone, and the windows make it easy to see whos there, plus there is like an ai lock in the mud room, to get in you have to come through two doors.

I always answer the door with "it" loaded and pointed through the door.

As soon as I put my pants on in the morning, I open my gun safe and holster my gun. Right before I go to bed at night, I put my gun back in the gun safe.

If you are coming to my house, you had better call first. We will not answer the door unless we know who you are and what you are doing there. Then, you will not come in through the front door - you will come in through the garage. As I am watching for you when the garage door is going up, I can reasonably determine what your intentions are before you get in the garage.

I may not always have my 1911 with me inside the house, but if I drop it, I have my P3AT.

My house is rather hidden. If you don't know where it is, you ain't gonna find it. So, if a stranger should happen to approach my door they'd better look out for #1 the dog and #2 the 12-guage.

Ok, so the "unknown man" did not enter his home or steal anything? Sounds like he had that one coming.

I was thinking the same thing.

 

[BIG TIM]

I have a loaded .357, a pit bull and an alarm . If thats not enough, I also have a bad attitude.

Our house sits alone and is surrounded by corn fields. When I get a knock on the door I look out the side window and if I do not recognize the vehicle in the driveway I grab a shotgun and I do not answer the door.We have been getting alot of burglaries around here including my home about 18 months ago. They have been going to rural homes knocking on the door and if someone answers they ask for directions or is this where that lawnmower was for sale or some other BS question and leave. But if know one answers they break in. Thats why I grab the 12 guage and wait. I guess I kind of want pay back.

Entering my home unwelcomed is very dangerous. Not only am I a gun owner/operator but so are my other two roommates. We have all put thousands of rounds through our weapons and would not hesitate to put one more threw it in order to protect our castle.
