In the household I grew up in, in the occasional times when we had company over, my mum wouldd plan and fret a lot., and then when they would knock on the door, she would call out, "I'll be right out" and run into the bathroom, and not emerge until after the door was opened by someone else (usually me). Weird. She would do the same routine with dinner. "I'll just be a minute" as she had her drink and smoke. Guests would feel justifiably weird about starting without her. But she couldn't handle it. I'd put the food on the table, people would serve themselves. It was odd, to say the least.
I once gave $40 to Obama running for office because some canvasser knocked on my door (but I actually believed in him and wanted him to win.) Pretty much, no good comes from answering your door. Although it could be Amazon now. I let them in, lol.

"there's always one of these know it all wannabe mfs that interrupt my conversations"
It's not YOUR conversation. Anyone on this site can reply. Yes, lots of people have guns in their homes, probably close to half. But they sure as hell don't go drawing guns every time someone knocks on the door.
Saying it's the American way is absurd to the extreme. - +1 y
its my post tho, if i have the power to delete conversations then what does that say, it wasn't a serious post as you can see from the rest of the comments, if you haven't noticed that most of my posts aren't serious then I don't know what to tell you, no one cares what you gotta say, i surely couldnt care less what you gotta blab your mouth about, if you are such a snowflake that such a simple comment made you so butthurt then hop off the internet, or block me cause you surely won't like anything else im gonna tell you because i dont care enough to spare your feelings, its not a big deal and you are making it a bigger deal than its gotta be with your karen attitude, your sensitivity isn't appreciated here

People on this site hit a nerve all the time. This place has the most idiotic people I've "met" in my life. It's why I take regular breaks.
"it wasn't a serious post as you can see from the rest of the comments"
What I see from the comments is they take you seriously. THAT is why I called you on it. If you are being sarcastic, then it's sure not clear. People in other countries, and in the US itself, have crazy ideas about gun owners and Americans in general. You are not helping. - +1 y
not the American part, clearly everyone knows not every single American is like that, i dont care about your explanation on what you thought, the point here is that you took it too seriously, now lets stop spamming this woman with pointless replies before it exculates to something even more pointless
Anonymous(25-29)+1 yReminds me of this one scene in the movie unbreakable. I remember watching it when I was a kid. Was never something I thought much about. Basically a large janitor goes to the suburbs and calls at a family man's house. Says "I like your house" then proceeds to open the screen door as the father attempts to stop him. We later see in the movie that the father was murderd, beaten to death and his wife has beeb beaten and probably raped, their kids tied up and probably next. It occurs to me now how easy a home invasion actually would be to carry out in most cases even if you own a gun most people aren't answering the door with it. Espicially dangerous for women, I demonstrated to my fiancee how easy it would actually be when she didn't believe. I showed her that when she answers the door I just shove the door and quickly push my way in b4 she can do anything. 3.24

+1 yYeah same here. Plus I don't want somebody showing up from a past job. I live kinda tucked away... so if you're knocking and I'm not expecting you then you're REALLY lost, and on foot, because I have sensors in the driveway that let me know when a car pulls in. We have three shooters in the house we answer the door in buddy teams after checking the cameras.

yea foreal bro, people be knocking unannounced and that isn't a thing that should be done anymore lol

I have a couple friends from the sandbox that could do that if they were in trouble, but they also know i'm coming to the door with a scar-h (and probably a backup shooter) so don't be rushing on in until i have positive ID
I live in the nice part of town. Some people think I'm overreacting, except a) bad people have cars and b) I've had people get stupid before so it's not overreacting when I'm right - +1 y

+1 yoh 100% i live in st. louis and in a rough area lol it all depends tho
if im expecting someone or a package then not as much. BUT if im not or it's night time, then im very much on edge. i have a chain on my door, so if i have to answer some tweaker or sketchy guy, then i'm probably fine. still makes me anxious as hell110 Reply- +1 y
so a tweaker or sketchy guy can't just kick open that chain, unless that chain is welded to a mental frame, I don't know how your chain on the door makes you feel safe, at that point just dont open bro 😂
- +1 y
metal* 😒
- +1 y
i meant like i need that chain bc what if i were just opening that door willy nilly without it lmao anyone could get in
- +1 y
yea but if im not mistaken kicking your door would break the chain bro ☻
- +1 y
normal ones yeah if you dont do anything else but that's why you gotta do stuff to make it better
- +1 y
ever thought of getting a weapon of any sort, relying on the chain seems like its got some crazy odds 🙃
- +1 y
oh no im not crazy lol we have weapons here and a german shepherd. i just didn't wanna focus on that bc im proud of the edits i made to the door lmfao

the german shepherd was a nice touch, last thing they will expect is a furr torpedo running at them, and weapons on top of that is even better, y'all are on point 😏👍🕴

+1 yI do get on edge, but I am fortunate enough to not live in a area like that anymore where they do shit like that, so there's no grabbing guns, lmao.
However, I do usually have a pocket knife hidden whenever someone is at the door or if we have someone over to spray for bugs. Any situation where a stranger is at the house.19 Reply- +1 y
you should still have a gun tho lowkey
- +1 y
When answering the door you don't really need one in my neighborhood. I live now in a middle class suburbs where families go on golf carts and nothing happens here. Also, I'm too young to own a handgun anyway. My parents have some, but that is theirs.
- +1 y
oh sounds like some lavish livin lol
- +1 y
Yeah, it's a nice easy going area. I have lived in areas similar to what yours sounds like, but we also never answered the door with a gun anyway. However, we also did have signs in the front yard warning people we had guns, lmao.
I know you said also you've been affiliated with violent people/crime (s) before on here, so maybe it's different for you. - +1 y

i wanna ride golf carts bro, i only rode one in school when we stole it from the security

grade 9 and no we crashed it into a fence and left it there, i dont rhink the security ever found out we took it for a joyride, but they are fun to drive ill just say that

So, when someone knocks at your door, you answer the door with guns? Even if it’s just the delivery man?
- +1 y
i have it on me, im not aiming at him with it, if its not a person that means harm, they won't know i even have one when answering the door, or that there's more people in the house ready for an invasion lol
- +1 y
I mean if it was a burglar or a thug, why would they knock at your door? Lol
- +1 y
they do that now, they knock so you open and then when you do, there's like 4 more people hiding so they all walk in at the same time leaving you with no time to react or with the door unlocked rather than broken so there's not much noise and i guess there's many benefits to breaking in when they open the door rather than breaking in
- +1 y
you can see it for yourself on the news, one person knocks and pretends they are normal and when you open, you got 5 people that were hiding walk into your shit, now they won't expect the person to answer the door armed tho, they try walking in and boom boom boom is all they will hear, if they dont get hit im sure they will run off
- +1 y
Omg, I've never heard of anything like this before. And they do that in daylight? Aren't they afraid of someone seeing them, or security cameras in the neighborhood?

well i can assure you a gun fight will still bring you fear, fear is normal, it keeps us alive and woth no fear, there's no adrenaline

there's 4 handguns, a shotgun and semi auto uzi and an AR15 in the house and none of them are stock so they all have sights, extended magazines and extra ammunition, we also got 1000 extra green tips for the AR15, this house was named alcatraz by the local younglins cause it used to also have 4 locks on the door 😂

You know under all the pressure the government is going through right now, should they issue a legislation to banning semi-automatic rifles, you'd face some serious questioning should you not comply.
I mean seriously why all those weaponry, do you rob banks or something? XP - +1 y
no robbing banks is suicide, a jewelry store was planned but we called it off years ago, thats not the point tho we aren't criminals anymore, they are all legal guns and considering they just passed a law to allow permitless carry and just wemt active like 5 days ago, our gun laws are going in the right direction lol
