Picked this up off Boortz today: In San Francisco no less, http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f ... QJ3HL1.DTL
the fiance thoufght I was crazy a few months back answering the door to our apartment with my gun. After stories like this she now thinks I am crazy if I dont answer the door with a gun!
I frequently answer the door with a pistol in hand, but behind my back. That guy was really unlucky, aside from ending up dead... As this happened in California, what are the odds the person answering the door would have a gun?
I can remember in the mid 70's when I was living with my father there were stories of people forcing their way into doors and robbing people, my father and I set up a signal when answering the door at night, if the person at the door drops to the floor the other was in hallway with loaded 12ga shotgun and dropping was signal to fire.... person answering door was unarmed, but not unprotected.
Answering the door with a knife would work too at that close of a range. It doesn't really matter what kind of knife or gun it is, just something to defend yourself with.
Hey now! All you heartless folks should feel bad for the poor dead guy. I'm sure all his fellow cons...errr...I mean buddies thought he was a jam up guy and was trying to turn his life around.
He did turn his life around - he just didn't want to go through a trial, appeal, appeal, appeal, appeal, appeal, appeal, appeal, appeal, etc before finally having the state give him lethal injection.
Man I wonder what the odds would actually be in San Fran. someone being armed. If it weren't for bad luck this guy would have no luck at all.
