In related news, it's also legal to shoot through your foot, unless you happen to be an endangered species. In the words of the inimitable Johnny Hart, 'Hello, there, I am an apteryx, the last of my species. Please do not harm me.'

And to add, no door to door candy bar salesman, no Girl Scouts, no Jehovah's Witness, no Clean Water Petition hippies, neighbors or friends or anyone else for that matter has ever tried to kick in my door. Somebody trying to kick in my door is up to no good, really.

I once had an upset person bang the crud out of my front door. It wasn't a violent attack, it was one of my renter's customers who thought for some reason I had something to do with a computer repair that caused lost files. I had nothing to do with the situation. They left, angry. I went back inside and finished lunch.

Another time I heard a bang on my office building that sounded like a kid ran full speed into the wall. Several of us went outside to see what had happened and look for damage. Nothing was there, but I later developed a theory.

That bang was precisely to the minute at the time a meteorite entered the atmosphere about 50 miles away above Hillsboro. A sheriff, farther away than I was, reported the ground shaking. My theory is a sonic boom jiggled the sheet metal rear wall of my building enough to cause it to shift, relieving expansion stress, and that created a loud bang.

I could have shot through the wall to be on the safe side, but I might have Mozambique'd poor ET who was only panhandling for a dime and directions to the nearest galactic pay phone.

Just saying, things can be different from what they seem when the evidence is limited.
