This is a great idea that I completely forgot about mentioning.

I have a wireless webcam that is motion activated. I originally hvave it placed there due to theft of packages left on my front door, but it'd be great evidence if it was ever needed.

You can also connect to this on my home network, so it's pretty easy if you've got a computer around to connect to the camera; it takes about 10 seconds.

I'll never say, "I'd NEVER shoot through my door" but in most cases I can say I would not shoot through a door.

If I knew the target on the other side of the door wanted to kill me, and I knew where he was, and knew nobody else was around, I might take the shot, but until I develop x-ray vision, I don't see myself knowing all these things through the door.

I'd probably take a defensive position at a right angle to the door, and then wait to act.

I'm sure SOMEONE can come up with a situation where i'd end up doing it, though.
