This morning my door bell rings. I am in a deep sleep but my dog goes crazy then the door bell rings. I check on my daugther then I turn the spot lights on. No one is there. I go get my shot gun and I go outside shoot it and scream "whoever is out there I am not afraid to use this." Did not sleep after that. What would you do if this happened to you?

one rainy night my door bell rang then the door opened and a man stood there. I did not have a gun, but I almost beat him to death, he covered his head and ran. It pissed me off that he would even try something like that.. He may have had the wrong condominium. I would go down fighting. 100% Irish.

Have somene take a couple of shells down and take out 1/3 of the powder and replace the pellets with some fine pellets of rock salt,that way if you do have to shoot someone it won`t kill them but they will wish they were dead cause when that salt penetrates into the skin it will burn like the d*ckens.They WILL learn their lesson.

It was Thanksgiving night and, as usual, my husband had left for the hunting club. My mom was staying the night. Around 11:00pm, as my mom and I were watching tv, we heard someone knocking on the outside basement door. It wasn't our imagination because my dog started barking and ran to the door to the stairs. I was sure it was one of my kids so I went downstairs (with the barking dog) to let him/her in. My mom was yelling for me not to open the door. I couldn't open the door fast enough for the dog to get out to get the person at the door but there was no one there. My dog ran around to the back of the house. I slammed the basement door and locked it back and went upstairs. I was terrified. I called the police and while on the phone with them, I let my dog in through the front door. It was probably 15 minutes before the cops arrived and, of course, no trace of anyone. When my husband came home, I told him what had happened and that he needed to start leaving one of his guns for me. He just said, "Ain't nobody gonna bother you here". No wonder we aren't together anymore.

Tammy gf, you need to be careful opening the door if you don't see anyone. Probably just kids but maybe not. They could have grabbed you before you had time to react. You got a wedding to go to. Be careful.

First of all, I wouldnt open the door. We have an alarm system, so if someone actually tried to break in, the cops would, hopefully, get there before any damage could be done. Although I do keep a golf club handy. And I've been working out so I think I might be the one doing the damage.
But, we've got an alarm with the sign right next to the front door and there are 4 locks on my door. With the crazy ex's that my sis and I have we have to be careful.

I would have done the exact same thing. And have done it when I've heard noises outside in the middle of the night. All the kids know not to ever sneak up on or scare me when I'm asleep or alone at night because I keep a loaded pistol handy.

they are lucky if they get to the door. or a masochist-the last time someone was hanging over the fence screaming they had an 80 german shepherd latched onto the cheeks of their azz. shotguns are the best. just point and shoot. spring creek between decatur and athens has a shooting range.

Its a 20 gauge pump shot gun. Christmas present from the kids. Sandy I target practice in my backyard. Come on over anytime. Just not 4 in the morning. lol. I did not open the door right away. I checked the kids, turned the spot lights on. Let the dog outside before going out with the gun. I know that if someone was going to break it they would not ring the door bell, but they still will be looking down the barrel of a shot gun. lol Thanks for everyones own experiences. Very enlightening and helpful.

Don't know who all was there at the last picnic, but I was on the phone with Tom and Kat that day when someone tried to break my door down.
Our police department was closed and 911 kept transferring me to their ANSWERING MACHINE!!!
I had a can of Oven cleaner to fill their face with. I was told you can't harm them. Yeah, right!

I know somebody did that, and the burglar put a round through his chest. The burglar went to jail, the home owner went to his grave... True story, I'd never display a weapon until I was ready to use it on someone.
And if the door bell rang at 4am, I'd wander whose house I was in LOL

>>>being liscensed to carry,,,you should not have gone outside,,,stay inside,,you only have the right to shoot if your life is in danger,,,had you went out and shot someone..
you would autmatically go to jail for shooting that person...
On the other hand being liscensed to carry ,,if you are in danger while out you warn that person and if they try to hurt you , you do have the right to shoot....
******Guns saves lives, but it must be within the law******
The old saying ,,shoot at the door and drag them inside,,your the one going to jail,,
FBI can tell you dragged them inside.....so that's a tall tale...

I understand but at 4 in the morning and being single I felt mine and my child's life in danger. Alabama has the "Stand your ground lay or Castle law". If I feel that where I reside and we are in danger then I have the right to protect myself. There is no reason for a sane human being in my yard or ringing my door bell at that time of morning and me half asleep. I am not a gun happy person but I will use it if I feel my family in danger. Thanks for your input though. I appreciate it.

Like others, I'd roll over and try to go back to sleep. I'd probably be too angry for that, though. Everybody who knows me knows I get ticked about rude, surprise visitors who don't call first.

At 4 in the morning? I'd come to the door with my Glock behind my back, safety off.
Of course, My front door is 85% glass, so I can see who's out there.
Now when I had my wolf, she'd scare the hell out of anybody she didn't know, then look back at me and grin, like a 5 year old pulling someone's chain.
Seriously, though, this can be an issue, my 86 year old next door neighbor had this happen to her last night. I told her next time call the police right away, then call me, I'll help my neighbors.....

All you people talking about how quick you'd be to shoot somebody...it's pretty obvious you have either never had to kill a person, or you're sick.
Even the majority of professional law enforcement officers would tell you that they don't want to have to shoot someone.
Although it's true that you have a right to protect yourself if your life, or the life of your loved ones is in danger, it's also true that there is a crime called "excessive use of force". Once the OP stepped out of her door she became an aggressor with "intent to do bodily harm". The OP could have gone to jail for what she did, and then who would have protected her daughter?
What if that had been the police, or some other emergency personnel, who had been called out to the area but realized before you made it to the door that they were at the wrong address?
One thing this world does not need is for more children to be taught that violence, and guns, are the only way to handle a situation.
