    For those who hadn't made the decision already, this is why you should be answering the door with your gun in your hand (or at least on your person).

    HOUSTON -- Police are warning homeowners to be careful who they allow inside their homes. A man posing as a census worker and two more suspects barged into a north Houston house Saturday afternoon, killing the homeowner and beating others. It happened Saturday afternoon...

    I don't let anyone in my home who I don't know. They can ask questions standing on the outside of the door.

    Reports stated they "barged in" so it's really not a matter of letting the guy in but more of assessing the scene outside before opening the door in this case. Three guys I don't know come knocking on my door, I'm going to grab a gun before opening my door.

    Yeah, but he said he was from the gubment. :patriot:
    You can't question something like that :rolleyes:

    That's right! I would have no problem with that. I could clean my guns and tell them about the last time somebody asked me more than two questions. :laugh:

    The exact reason why I carry from the time I get up till I go to bed. I carry while watching TV and while mowing the lawn. Gun goes on while getting dressed and comes when getting undresses, when it goes in the nightstand next to my bed.

    "Just because you are paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get you."
    Not paranoid, just prepared!
