    The door bell rings and..

    Its some bummy looking guy you've never seen before riding a bike and hes standing at your doorstep as you peer out the window

    Do you
    A. open the door and ask him whether or not he would like tea and crumpets
    Or
    B. Grab your 1911 and rack a round, then open the door and figure out WTF he wants.


    I chose option B, what would you choose? My girlfriend said i was being ridiculous, i told her better safe than sorry. By the time I opened the door he was already gone, i surveyed my property and didnt find him but kept the 1911 at my side.

    I would have grabbed my Sig, which would have already had one in the chamber...or my holstered Kahr K40, also chambered. But ya, B is the better option.

      The answer is B. Safe is always better than sorry.

        How about option C: Don't answer the door and ignore the person.

          Ummm. I would just not answer the door. Ask through the door what he wants. Tell him to go pound sand. No reason to show him you own firearms

              Tell him you already gave at the office and you've got to get back to feeding your Rottweilers. Better yet let the Rotts answer the door for you.

                    Option B.
                    Insert something clever here.

                          Never open the door if your uncomfortable. There's been a series of 7-9 home invasions around the area I live. Recession+loss of jobs= more crime.

                            Wow, this actually just happened to me last week. 4 am and a guy rings my door bell. He didnt look familiar so I grabbed my Sigma .40 and asked him what he wanted. It was a taxi driver that had the wrong address, or thats what he said. He left and I went to sleep. So I guess that is option B!
