Yes, firearms were involved but he never saw, nor did I mention one.

Scary stuff. And, to add, I sort of understand the other side too. If,
say, my child was missing and I believed him or her to be inside some
house, I would definitely want to at least look, esp. if the person
answering was acting suspiciously for any reason.

I can fully understand that.


I would think that in these instances, it would help to get the police
involved early.

That is for sure.

By the way, many experienced serial killers are very good at producing
a convincing act and looking non-threatening.

Yup. Very good at pretexting.

Here is one I just thought up. Bad guy comes to your house, beats on the door, yelling
frantically that his wife in the car and is in labor. Good chance that door opens because
you are a decent guy and/or your wife tells you to help him.

How about my kid got hit by a hit and run driver while I was changing a flat, I need to
use your phone to call help?

Or, a cop shows up asking about something. After a bit, he says, sir, I'd hate to
inconvience you but could I use your bathroom? I'm in a bit of distress, must be
something I ate. In this case you just let a law enforcement officer a free search of
your home if something is in plain sight.
