Someone knocks on my door at that hour I will have a gun handy. I will NOT yank the door open and have the gun going through the door before I do. I would not even open the damn door until I found out who was there. Camera, window, peep hole. For those who live where there is no window they can see out a simple easy "caution" would be one of those things you see on the door of all Hotel rooms. Bar that allows the door to only open a couple inches. Then you could of course have gun in hand that NO ONE could see. If you peek out and it's uniformed LEO's? You ask what they want? If they want the door opened, and you want to comply? You of course put the damn gun down before you take the bar off so the door can open. First time Wife had a "scare" and stopped complaining about my "spending on guns" was like this. I was at work, someone starts pounding on door. He is yelling something she could not make out. Want to guess what she did NOT do? Open the door. She did have gun in hand, called 911. When good guys got there they called in, said we are here, please do not have your gun in your hand when you open the door. She looked out the window, put the gun down, opened the door.The caveat is the knock was at 1:30am...make of it what you will.
When I got home hours later the Wife was still a little shook up, still had a gun sitting there with her, and never again complained about the money I was spending on guns
