Random Knocks at the Door

Hello all, new guy here. RubberDucky the name.


So earlier some random guy knocks on my door. I answer and he starts telling me how him and his girl friend just got into it and she drove off all he needed was a phone to call a ride. Ok I live in the middle of nowhere 5 acre parcels all zoned out most houses around are fenced so u can't get access to most my neighbors front door. My house unfortunately is not fenced yet. So my door was the only accessible one for quit a distance. I felt for the guy so I grabbed my phone. Just in case, as the whole situation seemed kinda odd. I also decided to grab my pistol. So he uses the phone calls someone tell them the same sorry he told me and asked the person on the other end of the line for a ride. So I'm kind of lil more laid back cause it all seems truthful.. he hangs up and we start chatting. This, guy is giving me his life story telling me about his prison time showing me his tats real friendly like. By this time I'm positive he is on some heavy drugs. it was all real chill. But then he started getting all twitchy. Stepping real close to Me a lil to close for comfort. So I casually step away. He starts laughing and asking Wats wrong. I reply "if ur gonna act like a freak get the Fuck out of here". by this time I'm back by the front door. And he's getting close again. So I pull my pistol and told him to bounce.


It was real weird experience

what would have you done in that situation. AS he was getting closer it was real weird and I definitely felt threatened after telling him twice to back away. Forgot to mention the first time he was damn near rubbing arms with me and he crouched to the floor and jumped up. That's was when I stepped away and he laughed. I don't know if I handled it the right way? Wat do you think?

Trust your instincts bro, they have been refined through evolution. If you're definitely feeling like shit ain't right, most likely it's cause shit ain't right.

Stay on your toes now for a little while.

Instinct honestly was saying pull the trigger. Lol glad I didn't.

IM glad this happened. I've been in a comfort zone and this little reminder snapped me out of that. back to commando mode.

but where would that lead. If I did there would be a dead body police everywhere my garden would be doome. or I would have to get the old hacksaw out and go to work neither sound appealing.

Yup.. What paladin said..
I had some people knock on my door last year in a snow storm (car stuck n no cell service)... I was nice but def wasnt unarmed until i concluded they were harmless..
Tweakers, crackheads and junkies have a reputation as violent and erratic for a reason..
Anyway, if a stranger knocks on my door n in short order is showing off his prison tats something is up.. U r either too friendly, or the guy was tweaked out of his guord..either way.. Better to keep the gun in ur hand behind ur back.. Crappy situation but u didnt handle it horribly.. I mean u didnt shoot the guy.. But, now u got some tweaker out there who remembers u drawing down in him.. So thats not so good

Might have been too friendly. That's possible. the guy was out there for sure. I talked to him for 5 minutes and I know his name, his girlfriends name the city he's paroled out of his charges and he's on the run. This guy was pretty twacked.

I've meant many people on drugs alot of them blab about there ,Tijuana past it seen?

By that time I was right in the door way just got the door open just as I pulled it. I forgot dude had my house phone still. IM telling him bounce he holds the phone out sayin "sorry bro" yadayadayada apologizing. He was trying to hand the phone to me without getting to close he looked a little scared. I grabbed it from him and shut the door.

Thinking back I didn't handle it right I think for one I had my door open which gave him better access to my house if the situation did escalate. and two this is why I have a chain lock it opens just enough to interact with a person without fully opening and unlocking your door.

He might have been scouting your house to come back later and rob you. So showing him that you are armed is prolly a good thing. I don't see anything wrong with it.

Maybe you made a mistake letting him in, but you more than corrected it by showing him you're armed. That's my two cents worth.

Odd experience, but i mos def wouldnt let him in the house, i'd give him cell and walk him to the road, chat with him there not in the house... These kind of people can read you well, so you better get your poker face on, act serious maybe abit tough, he starts pulling of crazy shit, like that jumping and getting close, you never whana step back better to make it look like you wanted to step ahead and bump into him. but at that point you should be allready getting images on how the fight can unroll and invision things abit incase you need to snap a neck :> here we dont have guns and if they are too chatty thats not good you try to take the intitative and talk about what ever and make him listen, that way he doesnt get to see your reaction to the crap he is telling if it's a random guy you never know what his intentions are

Aswell f u smoke cigs, it's good to light one or two with a cig it's easy to make it clear what your comfort zone is either you puff his way or hold cig abit infront of you, if you allready noticing he doesnt respect your comfort zone ect..
