If you are in your home and someone knocked on your door at 2:00 am in the morning would you shoot them through the door or go to an upstairs window with a gun and tell them to clean off, but be ready to shoot them if they don't or open the door

No, I wouldn't shoot someone through the door because it could be a family member or someone I know who needs help. I would ask the person on the other side of the door to identify himself. This person would also be able to hear my dogs barking and, since I live in Florida, would also be aware that I am legally allowed to shoot so I doubt it would be a complete stranger up to no good.

Then he risks getting shot because our laws allow us to protect ourselves with deadly force. Of course, I'd call 911 first and see if someone gets here before I have to shoot...and I'd have no reason to shoot if he's simply standing there knocking on the door.

shoot without knowing who it is outside? maybe, what i would do is peep who is there and observe. i wouldn't let him know i am awake, just wait until he identifies himself. for sure, if he is a relative from a far place who comes for a place in the night or a relative on emergency, he would knock at the same time identify himself so that he can be opened and let inside. i will just have to be wary and observant till i am sure he walks away. if not, and if i find him to be suspicious, i will call the police and request them to come over.

First of all if someone is knocking on your door at 2:00am in the morning I doubt they are going to harm you. It would most likely be a neighbor with an emergency or a family member. If it was a criminal they wouldn't be knocking, they would just break right in.

Well 2:00am is too early to knock someone's door. But im not sure to get up and open the door, coz during that time, i love my bed, and i don't bothered to get up and entertain them on that time except if it's emergency or my friends in trouble. I think bulgalers never knock doors, they just sneak into your homes, when you never know.

Hi jen, if somecame came knock knock on my door at 2am I would naturally ignore them as it is particularly rude to vistit at such a ridiculous hour without having at least the courtesy to telephone one in advance. Obviuosly I need not be alarmed that this person is potential burlar as they don't tend to have a reputation for knock knock before breaking and entering.

Why on earth would someone come knocking my door at 2.00 am. Unless there's a real emergency or there's a suspicious person on the door. He/she will stay on the door while I call the police unless he/she can verify as a person I know or mean no harm. He/she can blow the door for all I care, I am not going to open the door. I'll ready to fight back if I have to.
