It's a trap
An American flag would do the trick. I guess people are pretty astute to the fact overly patriotic people are second amendment supporters. Or hell put Trump flag in your front yard.I built a half fence many years back, no more dog crap on my lawn, well worth it, gun sign in california would probably get me arrested.
that really would show you may have a backwards, rah-rah american and a gun nut. I mentioned how i work in rural areas, I generally don't feel at ease, for many reasons, I don't know the roads, I don't know the driving norms (whether it's ok to speed or not) and I really do not like it when I see two flags on one truck. The trump signs and bold, pro-american shit is a normal there, about as normal as the city folks to hate trump.An American flag would do the trick.

you're right, my parents always opened the door. My mom, after she became disabled, I'd try to get her not to answer the door but it never worked, it was like some sort of hardwire in her. One time, right after 9-11, the fbi came after a tenant in our building, my mom answered a knock, opened a seperate door to the rest of the building and they yanked his ass and put him on the news. I never heard the end of it but I don't think the poor guy had anything to do with any terrorism, he was a truckdriver though. The way he'd sing to his baby kid just didn't seem to me like something a terrorist would be into. But I never heard for sure. Anyways, the news stations were knocking and getting my mom on the news and I finally chewed her ass out and told her not to answer. My mom was caucasian, I'm half indian, she never understood a million things about my people and one of them is that you should be wary and not trusting and people are out to exploit you. She was a total misfit in the white world but she spent her life trying to fit, bless her heart, and trying to convince me to put myself through the hell she put herself through. I've been "fuck the world" most of my life and the times I haven't, I've usually regretted it.Answered the door this morning. My wife forgot to tell me to leave something outside for a friend to pick up.
I almost always answer the door. If someone's brave enough to step to the plate then it's my obligation to see what they want. The religious people trying to convert me are by far my favorite.
It's funny, when I was younger people always answered the door. It almost seemed like basic manners. It's completely flipped over the years and now you're the weird one if you actually answer your door.
