With the door closed, AND THE GUN IN MY HAND BEHIND MY BACK, I would ask "do you require police assistance, because otherwise you are at the wrong house?" Or even better, "I have already called the police for you, they are on their way to help you."

Tape a second armor plate to my back while my wife grabs her 300wm single shot rifle to provide overwatch.

Quoted: I live in an unincorporated area of the county about 3 miles from the nearest town. It's a neighborhood of paved streets and maybe 200-300 houses of various values with lot sizes from city size to a few acres. We have low crime and people are generally good folks that wave when they drive by. In the almost 30 years I have lived here, I have never seen a single spot defaced with graffiti. All that being said, it's still 15 miles from the border and a 1/4 mile from the main north-south highway and we all know what that means in this day and age. I was sitting on my bed watching TV at 8PM last night when my doorbell rang. Very unusual and unexpected. It might have been anything from a neighbor seeking help in an emergency to some pendejo looking to rob me or steal my car. I grabbed my G19 out of the night stand, stuck it in my front jeans pocket and looked through the window at my driveway. There was a car at the street end of my 60 foot driveway with the lights on. I turned on the porch light and looked through peep hole to see an unknown man standing there. What would you do? I would use the camera at my front door to see who's there from the app on my phone, then use the speaker on that camera to ask what they want. |

Blast through the door till slide lock.
 I'd buy a Ring Doorbell camera. Then, the image would have popped up on your smart TV and you could have been, da faq? and told them to fuck off via the intercom feature. |

I must have small jean pockets. I don't think I could fit a G19 in my front pocket, at least not so it would be possible to draw.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Glock already in my hand behind my leg not visible to him open the door and see if he has friends that rush around to force entry or if he’s just lost. Have you considered that his friends may be trying to force entry at the rear of the house while he's keeping you talking at the front? We had exactly this happen to an arfcommer who was saved from being shot in the back by his dog tackling the (armed) guy as he came through the window. |

Me, I would have just continued to observe and done nothing. I have a doorbell camera for that so I can sit in front of my desktop PC screen or my phone app and watch that stuff all day long, in comfort, sipping iced tea. What I would NOT have done is opened that door. Nope. Nope. And Nope. Then, the actor's actions from that point determine the rest of the outcome. Maybe just a wrong address and he figures it out and leaves? All good. Any suspicious behavior? The cops get called to investigate. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: A camera with a speaker connected to your phone isn't expensive at all, and it's easy to install. test it too...have your wife or some other helper come ring the doorbell and talk to them through the intercom, then switch places until you're both comfortable and fluid with answering the door. Some people have the first instinct to open the door because that's what they were taught as good, God fearing decent citizens who want to help ...so long before Clown World came, and it isn't leaving anytime soon My favorite takeaway was a busy-body neighbor who would come over later evenings unannounced to talk (gripe) about something else. We got our first Ring camera before we ever moved to the country. It was a lot of fun telling my bitchy neighbor, "Sorry, I'm in my pajamas and I can't talk right now..." This was always followed by, "Oh, I don't mind how you're dressed....well too fucking bad, I DO mind how I'm dressed and I'm not answering the door in my fucking bath robe" "What's that, I can't hear you" is usually their first reply, but you now know they can hear you just fine because you tested your cameras already. Then you can tell them, "Doesn't matter...I can hear YOU just fine, whadaya want?" our neighborhood had been a good one, but it was time to leave when we left |

Page two criteria has been met.
======================= Quoted: it's not even dark at 8pm  Yes, it is. Sunset is at 7:15 Quoted: Isn't it like 143 degrees at 8pm there most of the year? Why would you have a jean jacket on? Yesterday: High 87, Low 56 Where did you get jean jacket from? I said "stuck it in my front jeans pocket" Quoted: Where is your rifle? In the safe. I do have a QRF on DEFCON 87 down the street if needed. Quoted: Open the door with gun in my hand, and not let it be seen. Ding, ding, ding. We have a winner. I opened the door with the pistol in my hand while I stood partially behind it. It turned out to be a guy a couple streets over whose dogs had escaped. A Great Dane and a Lab. He asked if I had seen them and I got his contact info in case the mutts showed up. I don't have a crocodile filled moat, electrified door knob, concertina wire or Hesco barriers in my yard. No tripod mounted M2 in the living room. No trap door to the sex dungeon under the door mat either. I don't have a ring or nest camera because...fuck cloud storage and da po-lease. Sorry to disappoint. |

I live at the end of a four mile long paved road. Yesterday someone drove the 525 feet down my drive, drove around the loop in front of my house, and drove off without even slowing down. No idea of who they were or what they were doing. They made the quarter mile round trip down my driveway for entertainment we guess. We didn't think much of it really.
Next time I'll start a thread to be safe.

Quoted:What would you do? Open the door, say hi, and step outside closing the door behind me. Sunset tonight is at 8:34 PM and it doesn't get dark until after about 9:00 locally. If the porch is dark I would modify my response by first saying "hey Siri good evening", then open the door, say hi, and step outside closing the door behind me. |

Answer the door with nothing on but a chest rig and an AR in your hands. Proceed to pee on strangers. If he stays, hold him at gunpoint while screaming "who sent you?!"
Tie them to a chair and start sweetly whispering in his ear "Its been a long time since we've had a handsome visitor such as yourself. I believe we will keep you alive for a while" |

Same thing happened to me once. Cold fall evening, around 8pm. Doorbell rang, it was a kid. He said his mom and dad were beating him and he ran away, saw me get my daughter off the bus (they ride the same bus) and I looked like a nice dad. He just needed help. I called the cops and they took him straight back to his parents and dropped him off.

At night, when it’s dark, someone would have to have traveled a two land paved country road five or ten miles from a gas station that is open at night, I’m semi rural.
Turned down a similar road off of that, Then, either climbed over a fence and went through the woods or Had a code or broke through a gate to a dirt road, or parked and walked down the dirt road- Then drove or walked down my driveway a ways to my house. So, if the horses were out they get load and antsy at anything other than a deer coming out of the woods. And the little indoor dog gets loud and goes to see what makes them antsy. So if they chose a walk through the woods plan I will know they are coming. A vehicle coming down the driveway gives the same warning. If the horses are in or they walk down the driveway- ok- they have made it to the front door with no warning. None of my living space is on the first floor. To get up to our living space they will need to break into the garage and have an elevator code. Or break into the other half of the ground floor and come up the stairs. Someone ringing the bell or just at the front door, etc. also activates the little dog vocal warning. Plus the 235 pounds of dogs that basically live between the ground floor and the stairs to the second floor. And their warning noises are a little more frightful. And if you are not known or they are not told to let you by, you’re not really getting by. The other 13 homes on the couple of miles of paved road will have called if they are stopping by or be expecting. Other guests will also be expected. I’m not unarmed, a couple of big dogs with raised fur on their haunches will have stopped barking and just be growling as they wait to see my lead. Hell, I could be upstairs and take a look with my phone or iPad plus talk to whoever is there with it. I am purposefully in an arrangement the past decade or so where some rando can’t be walking down the street and coming up my house/driveway from fifty feet away. |
