[QUOTE="nofearfactor, post: 1375306, member: 1535"] Im ok with that. Been said before. Doesnt bother me one bit. Especially coming from the nuts on this board. As well as some of the other **** youve said to me in the past. The point I was trying to make though is that something out of the usual happens around me its best for me and my own sense of security to check it out and make sure. What you do for you is for you and what I do for me is for me. Whether its merely just a candle being lit in another room and me smelling the wood of a match burning and wondering what is burning some where in the house or me smelling cigarette smoke right outside my door at 4am when Im the only one up working and the neighbors are asleep. Another instance. None of my people come to our house ever without calling first. My wife was in the hospital and I was sleeping like I do during the daytime hours and someone raps on my front door without ringing the doorbell. I get up and with my gun behind my back,look out thru the peephole,and its no one I know. With all of the home invasions and daytime burglaries going on next door in Tulsa I have to wonder wtf is this person. I answer the door,gun behind my back,and its a husband of one of my wifes church buddy bringing food while shes in the hospital. She didnt let me know he was coming,he didnt call,I had to think the worst first. I let him in and then casually put my pistol on the coffee table and helped him with the box of food, and didnt notice him seeing me putting the gun on the table. I dont go to church there too. Im notoriously agnostic. I play rock music for a living and am covered in tattoos. This man doesnt know me. I dont know him .He hurried and got the hell out of there though and a little later my wife called saying her friend called her and said I answered the door with a gun. Yes I did. She said it freaked him out. He doesnt own guns and isnt accustomed to seeing them. Word got all around the church about it pretty fast. Now people joke with my wife about ' definitely making sure that they call first' before they come by to see the wife. So whatever makes you feel safe. [/QUOTE]
