If someone knocks and tries the door and it's not someone you know, they're almost certainly not there to harm you - albaby

But you cannot be certain they won't. If they leave fine, if they are a deranged sociopath and pick up and object on your porch and start bashing the window, then what? Or if it is a group of thugs, bent on home invasion, then what? I would much prefer to have a gun and not need it than to need one and not have it.

I get it that others would not want to defend themselves and hope the perp just goes away or doesn't harm them if he breaks in anyway. But permit me to make a different choice.

The police are coming to help you - but only if you face an actual threat.

Even so, they cannot get the crime scene in time to prevent you from being beaten, raped or killed, if the perp is so inclined. Surely you realize that.
