  • Yes, I have no reason to let a random stranger in my home. A lot of home invaders will use a child, or other vulnerable person as a decoy/bait to gain entrance to one's home.

    I would just tell the person to wait for a moment, and then call 911. I would also NEVER tell the person outside my door that I called the authorities.

    • Very true! Definitely a smart idea not to tell them you called the authorities, as well!

      • I figure if a stranger shows up at my front door then they ought to expect me to be careful.

        Shit, whenever I get phone calls from private phone numbers I either don't answer, or I answer by saying, "who is this calling me from a private/blocked number". I honestly don't feel any obligation to be overly polite, or friendly when I see an unfamiliar phone number, and especially NOT a private, or blocked number.
