About 9:30 last night, there’s a knock on my door. Nobody does that. Ever. I got up and got my handgun, and went to the door. Turned on the porch light, and with the revolver clearly visible in my right hand, opened th door about 2”.

“WHAT DO YOU WANT?”

“We want to know if you got a package delivered today that belongs to us.”

“I DIDN’T GET ANYTHING DELIVERED TODAY, AND IF I DO AND IT’S ADDRESSED TO SOMEONE ON MY STREET, I DELIVER IT MYSELF. WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING COMING TO MY HOUSE AFTER DARK? I DON’T KNOW YOU! THAT’S A GREAT WAY TO GET SHOT! NOW GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE **RIGHT NOW**”

And I slammed the door on them.

Keep an eye out for them to come back-unannounced. Sounds like they're casing the neighborhood. Maybe check with neighbors to see if they have also gotten these late night visits too.

Hope the pups like the taste of thieving wetbacks, sounds like their diet might be getting some treats on the hoof.

Lily, I was ready to go. Further, I have all kinds of video surveillance of my entry areas.

Might want to give a video clip to the local po po then, sounds like their casing houses. Wonders what they would have done had you been a little old man or lady?

Had someone show up here, about twelve years ago, during the day posing as a Jehovah's witness. He didn't like the fact that I was carrying and thought I should just let him into my house! And then Thor made his presence known... gotta love a territorial AF giant house cats that hate strangers! Called the local police, they knew who he was, found out he was on parole, and he ended up back in the slammer for home invasion.

Excellent suggestion! Along with casing houses possibility, the address could have been used as a delivery point for something, or the address given out by a 3rd party as a misdirection address to fool the two "visitors" in a possible transaction.

It’s a big thing in New Orleans right now:

A New Orleans deejay's husband is recovering in the hospital after being shot four times Monday afternoon during an attempted home invasion, according to statements made by the family.

WWOZ's Leslie Cooper said Monday afternoon there was a knock on her door. The person at the door said they were looking for a package.

Leslie said her husband, Joe, answered the door. He was then shot trying to keep the person from entering their home.
"He was protecting me," Leslie said. "People always say they will take a bullet for you, he took four."
Leslie said her husband was taken to an area hospital where he remains in serious condition.
"He was shot in the right lung twice in one leg and one in the other he has a liver laceration. And in his lung and it's currently units back still there."

According to Leslie, police told her this was a new way criminals were trying to gain access to homes. She said police tell her criminals have been posing questions about packages before forcing their way into homes.
Leslie is urging anyone who hears a knock at their door to not answer.

As of right now, Leslie says her family is in need of blood donations.

"He's in a lot of pain he cried when I came Into the ER he didn't remember if I was safe or not he didn't know it was a moment when I found out he was alive and he knew I was still alive and it was ok? Safe to say he's your guardian angel? He's been my guardian angel for 32 years."

Outside of a firearm this is the best deterrent at the door at night.

sometimes it pays to apprehend and hold >>> guy in town got a 3AM alert someone tripped his garage alarm - confronted the masked guy with his handgun and the crook took off pedaling away on a bike ....

today came home from work and his custom car carrier was gone - checked his camera footage and it looks like the same guy came back this time at 5AM >> he put out an area alarm and the trailer was found later in the morning along with tons of other stolen goods in a ghetto area ......

they are giving the ghetto working detective the credit but I think the trailer might have been LoJacked ....

The good lesson here is “never answer the door without a firearm in your hand”. Good job Dennis.

I always tell folks to not break the barrier by keeping the door secured. It is easy enough to speak through the door while standing just off to the side.

Cameras are completely changing game as most also have speakerphones built in the unit. No need to open the door to have a conversation with a complete stranger.

Especially since they’ve now seen that you have a gun that they might to relieve you of.
