“Yeah, a malicious person is going to bother ringing the doorbell”
I mean, yea that is a tactic home invaders use. It’s a good way to get someone to unlock their door. Is it a reason to shoot somebody for ringing your doorbell? Absolutely not, but being cautious about who you answer for doesn’t hurt.
Sure, it happens, but most of the time it’ doesnt. Most people will never have that happen in their lives.
An appropriate response to that fear might be using an intercom or chain lock or video doorbell to find out, or get a dog, or choose not to answer the door
Not because I’m afraid of boogeymen, or anything, but because I just can’t be arsed. No one I want to talk to would try knocking or ringing my doorbell. It’s inevitably some tiresome asshole selling something, or pestering me about their whackadoo specialty religion, or begging for something, or it’s the cops with the wrong address.
You’re 100% correct. I was just replying to the “Yeah, a malicious person is going to bother ringing a doorbell” part of their comment that implied it never happens.
Yeah, I suppose it was an oversimplification, I won’t open the door withtout some sort of seeing who it is first. However the dogs reaction is always assume that the person ringing the bell is a dire threat, and thus far it never has been.

An unopen door is a happy door.
