Because someone knocked...apostate wrote:Why did you open the door?
Likely the way it would go as the LEO would say something along the lines of "well would you mind leaving your pistol inside and coming outside and talking to me?"
I don't see any harm in that, nor have I had bad responses when I've been put in that position. I'll tell you though, in my experience, most gun owners/CHL holders that have armed themself in response to a bump, noise, burglar, encounter, etc, they all say "hey let me put my gun away and I'll be right out."
Most recent time was a vagrant going door to door downtown and he knocked on the door to a law office where an attorney was working late. He came to the door with a glock behind his back, and volunteered to put it away when I walked up on the situation (I had just written the vagrant a CTW from a downtown business and saw him go there - I wasn't "called" by the attorney).
