Wierd visitor experience from last weekend, copied from my post on ARf about it:
Over the weekend (~10am on Sat) the GF and I were cleaning up a guest room in my house, which has an exterior wall against the walkway leading to my front door but no window on that wall. We heard voices for about two minutes trying to figure out where it came from, no knock on the door, dogs were not barking, TVs off, etc but the conversation continued. Finally we realized that two or more people must be standing at the front door and had been there for some unknown period of time without making a serious attempt to get our attention but the design of the house prohibited a view (I've never gotten around to installing the peephole I bought the week I moved in, 4 years ago...).
I decided to grab the 1911 from my night stand, put it within easy reach (but out of sight) and opened the door. The GF had grabbed one dog's collar and stood back about 6' while the other dog was locked in its kennel (she'd misbehaved earlier). It turned out to be two guys in suits from one of the local churches who moved along as soon as I said we werent interested and the non-kenneled dog started going I'm-gonna-eat-you bonkers (rescue dog, it doesnt like certain people for whatever reason), but the GF thought I was crazy/paranoid for grabbing the 45 before opening the door.
What do you think? Are two people talking outside your door without knocking wierd enough to warrant grabbing a gun?
