In a free country I'm free to answer my door however I want.

I mean, they could have anything in there.

Also, since my powers of telekinesis haven't been what they used to be, I'm not able to read their thoughts and determine their intentions.

What do I have to be afraid of? The only thing I don't have a caliber for is an charging elephant and I could probably get by with dropping one with a 30'06 or a 7.62x54R but it wouldn't be my first choice.

Fortunately I don't live in Kenya or Tanzania so the odds of a charging elephant are very minimal...

And if you're a good enough shot, which I doubt, you can drop an elephant with a .22 through the eye.
