Actually yes. Just not with my front door. When you have spent your entire career doing things like forceable entry you figure a few things out .

The glass in my front door allows my to see who is there before opening the door. However the best methodology for this is to put your foot against the leading edge of the door and open the door just enough to see who is there. Your foot makes an excellent door stop that is much more effective then your body due to center of gravity being so low. Ones upper torso has mass but if you utilize this part of your body then the center of gravity is sits to high thus allowing ones own body weight to be used against them. As for a weapon that is up to you but I generally operate under the premise that is my pants are then so is my pistol. But it is not unheard of for me to answer the door with a 12 ga was well.
