I live in the country, with an average of 20 minute delay before a county deputy would show up. I have the Sheriff on speed dial because he is a friend of mine, but even that won't guarantee much speedier response due to possible distance.
Anyone knocking on my door, ringing my bell etc, that I don't recognize will be greeted with me or one of my family members being armed, it may be held behind me until I ascertain their motives, also, if more than one family member is home, the other(s) will be just out of sight holding either a shotgun or handgun, in case they get past me.
Glad nothing more, than having to listen to an idiot swearing at you, happend, but for all of the reasons listed by others, I am constantly armed, unless I'm in the shower or asleep, and, even then there is a gun within reach.
I don't concern myself with someone complaining about being greeted by an armed homeowner, but it is my home. They were not invited, and should expect no more courtesy, than they gave me, by showing up uninvited. All family members, and friends, have no issues knowing that I will be armed, and are usually glad to know it. JMHO
