Sedalia Dave Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Heard that scammers are going door to door claiming to test for the virus and charging a fee for the service. One comes to my door, Covid-19 will be the least of their troubles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 I normally answer my door at night with gun in hand. I believe I will start doing this during the daylight hours as well. Typically the person at the door doesn't see my gun as I am discreet about it (Added this in case someone's panties are bunched up and causing you discomfort) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Kit Cool Gun Garth Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Funny you should mention it. One came to my door this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rye Miles #13621 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 I answer the door with a gun in my waistband, all I have to do is make sure they see it. Did you know that Jehovah Witnesses can run really fast?? (I'm kidding) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TN Mongo, SASS #61450 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Rye, No lie, I really did answer my apartment door decades ago absentmindedly holding a .45 auto that I had just cleaned and re-assembled after a IDPA shoot. The two young Jehovah Witnesses took one look and climbed back on their bicycles at lightning speed. Today, we have a dead-bolted, kick-proof, decorative steel and glass security door in front of our wooden door. I don't answer the front door unless I recognize the person through the side window first and, like Pat, I'm holding a Glock behind my back.

Widder, SASS #59054 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 I answer my door all the time. YES, with a firearm in hand. 2 fellers (appear to be 'Witness'rs) were met by me in my drive way before getting close to my house. I was carrying one of my Marlin 1894 rifles. I quickly just told them I was busy, didn't have time to talk and wished them a nice day. They concurred and left. Sometimes, when I really feel perky, I don't mind a Lighthouse magazine pusher knocking on my door. I'm Southern Baptist and I know a little about the Bible. They leave after a couple of cordial exchanges. Its just that simple. ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiskey Business Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Never open the door to strangers. Family, friends and neighbors call first so as not to be impolite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you open the door and they are 'close' to stepping inside, that means that Model 10 is also within their arms reach. P.S. - nice pistol. ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One comes to my door, Covid-19 will be the least of their troubles. Back on point.... That’s a pretty desperate scheme. Good way to wind up in jail, too. The last one that came by here was years ago, spouting some other ridiculous lie, and he demanded money. I couldn’t help myself and started laughing at him, which made him angry....which made me angry. My wife spoke up and told him to get off the property. He smart-mouthed her, and she told me to get out of the way, that she was going to shoot him. That guy took off running like a deer! It was funny at the time. In fact I’m smiling right now.

Sweet & Sassy Cindy Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 I live in the middle of 100 acre farm by myself now. Not by choice, but because the good Lord decided to take Dave home. I’ve had a bit of trouble with people coming down my drive unannounced. They were all met with my Widdermatic Henry 22LR or my Keltec 9mm pcc. I am proud to say folks leave immediately. I now have an Iron security gate in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
