It's sad that people feel like they have to be afraid of strangers. I don't want to be like that. I'd rather greet them as potential friends & offer them some iced tea.

Um, how about saying hello?
can't say hello if your throat is slit, just gurgle it


I don't live in fear like that. I don't assume people are out to harm me unless I have good reason.
by then it's too late sometimes. Shore softened you up.
....lol


Peccy you were raised on the Shore too, what hardend you?
The harsh realities of life.

Hmmmm. I'd simply ask them who they were. My door has a huge glass pane and I'd just ask....I could see them and they me.

Simple.

This morning there were three strangers. I think I said, "Good morning". I ended saying, "No we don't want any more magazines thank you, but good luck to you." happy

You'll be safe. I don't shoot until I know there's a threat.
Better to be prepared and answer a few Q's at the PD.
Than be unprepared and have my daughter pick out my last suit.

Ah Merlin we'd be a pair, you'd go for the gun & I'd be behind you with tea & cookies. We'd be that strange couple the nieghbors would warn newcomers about.

I used to just ignore people at the door, but last summer we had a gang that used younger kids (like 12 and 13) to go door to door pretending to sell stuff. If no one answered they assumed the house to be empty and would go into the backyard and break into the place. So, now I always tell them through the door to go away....that way they won't think no one is home and try to break in.

jeeze you Americans are paranoid..people do that all the time around here, usually looking for someone in the neighborhood...since everyone knows everyone else, its easy to give them directions...

I agree. If they think no one is home they might try to break in. But I still would not open a door to a stranger..period. We live in a different world today.

That's why I tell them through the door...don't open it. Just let them know I'm home.

if they broke in thinking no one was home they would be in for one hell of a .38 caliber surprise.

Since I live in a very small town where everybody knows everybody,I'd prolly answer the door. I have inquisitve neighbors so if something did happen the officers would know who to pin the crime on.
Besides I figure when it is my time to die nothing I do or don't do will stop it.
