Ok, so I know there are several if not most who always answer the door with their pistol safely tucked away.... Do you do anything different tonight...

I hand out candy...But I have the ultimate costume to trigger those on the left. I will be wearing my "Proud Deplorable" T-shirt with my red MAGA hat. Let the snowflakes melt!

We rarely even get 1 come by here but my K9 will be the 1st to let me know and I will be more alert than normal, when dogs go out I will go with them.

Concertina wire around the house. :biggrinjester:

But seriously, there's been so little trick or treat traffic in our cul de sac the past few years we've been going lights out and not participating.

I have lighted outside decorations that have been up for a week or so and we will answer the door. After my situation with the dog attack on my dog a couple of weeks ago in front of my house and I didn't have my gun with me, it is never not with me now. It wont be in sight.

I'll untuck my shirt to cover my OWB holster and gun. And the dog will be closed up in the bedroom. Other than that, it will be like every other night of the year.

I have a worship band rehearsal this evening, and I won’t be home until around 8:30-9:00pm. TAW will be home alone until I get back, so I’ll remind her to keep her pistol handy until then. That said, we live on a very quiet street, and we didn’t have much trick or treat traffic last year.

Like any other night... I'll be dressed, and therefore armed.

We decorate for it but, the only real difference between tonight & any other... we hand out candy & trinkets tonight.
Enjoy & Be Safe.

We take the kids trick or treating at the zoo, so I will be carrying like always.

Where I live, there is 0% chance of having trick or treaters.

No trick or treaters where we live. We are going to Mass in a little while then have a warm quiet evening with no interruptions. Kids in the subdivision head to town for easier pickings.

Armed, not handing out candy, and not trick-or-treating with my daughter anymore. She's too old for DAD to come along now and has been for a couple years.

My favorite is to dress as an operator with my plate carrier and my ar in a high sling while handing out candy. The best part is most people think it is fake. I'm not.going to say anything different
