    Might think they aren’t fucking around, but take a shot at random folks ringing the doorbell and theyll definitely find out… Cops are gonna show up, and they’re likely to be a little grumpy.

      Could be Florida or some places like that where it is legal as long as you say you felt threatened

        I live in rural north Idaho, which is definitely one of the places you’re referring to, and simply saying you feel threatened is only going to get you so far… Your assertion that the random person at the door was a threat has to meet a “reasonable” criteria. A reasonable person would have to feel threatened under the circumstances.

        Putting a .30-30 round through the front door when somebody rings the doorbell is a total crapshoot. If it’s the pizza guy or FedEx, I’m 100% fucked, because nobody’s going to buy that they were being threatening in any way.

        It’s not as simple as you’re suggesting :)

          Fine. I live in a duty to retreat area. If I discharged a firearm for any reason outside a range I am confident I am screwed

      Hope the cops don’t ring that doorbell
