Actually, you are right

I could have shot him, but then, I suppose I would have had to clean up the mess;) (cleaners days of in all) just kidding :)

How much have you had to drink ??
Unless you live in an isolated cottage in the woods what have you got to worry about ??
If you don't want to let them in or talk to them don't open the door :rolleyes:

I always answer the door with a "yes can I help you "
But when they look done and see a pistol aimed at their
gonads... their mouth go dry and they seem unable to speak ...

In a land (subdivisions) where "knocking" on doors is rare, home invasion aren't and guns run amok... I too would be scared.. and I'm 6'2", big bloke. Not scared just for me, but for my family. As for this lady, on her own, at dusk, being scared... too f//king right she should be, and it kept her safe.. go girl.

I would just tell the guy to go away, without opening the door and engage alarm.

Sorry, but I just feel so annoyed that I feel uncomfortable in my own space

yes and i would have been scared also :eek:

my OH is away a lot and the only way i stay here on my own is coz our subdivison although not gated has a 24hr guard and cctv everywhere. our pool guy had to climb over the side gate coz i'd forgotten to unlock it last week for him to get in and he was spotted on the monitor and approached by the security guy.

houston is full of down and outs, even more so since katrina.

hope you are feeling better this morning :)

A simple can of pepper spray by the front door has
always been a good idea ..

But surely they wouldn't have knocked on the door first?
