Unless you can spray down from the top of the castle walls, along with the flaming oil, I completely agree with you!

My 18 year-old son opened the door to a solicitor today.

When I reminded him that I don't want the door opened, he replied, "Come on dad. The guy was tiny. I could have pounded him in my sleep."

The arrogance of youth.

I reminded him, "My house, my rules".

My 16 year old son opened the door Friday to a someone who said they were from the alarm company and there to check the alarm. He told them we didn't call anyone for service and to go away. Obvious fishing.

I reminded him him that he needs to keep the door closed and talk through the door. Since he is 16 and obviously knows everything, he countered with he felt safe because he was holding our German Shepard back while talking at the guy. I impressed upon him again that it is still my house, my rules.

I usually answer the door with my gun drawn, and down low by my butt out of sight. 14+1 rounds of .45 ACP.
