Posts: 207 I wouldn't hand my phone out to someone
If someone asks to use the phone the answer is: I'll phone the Police for you or I just phoned the cops they're on the way.

I've heard plenty of stories where someone asked somebody to "use" their phone for a quick call and once it was in their hands, bolted!
Also, I can't remember the last time I answered a knock at our door in the DAYTIME without a handgun on me, let alone at night. I have no known enemies, am not paranoid but I also am always expecting something to happen where I'll be glad I had a gun.
Let me add this....my wife and kids are often asleep well before me. If someone knocks at the door at night and they, (million to 1 chance) have intentions to home invade or something along those lines, then I am responsible for protecting my family and ensuring they won't be harmed because I was stupid.
How many times have we all heard about families that some criminal(s) picked at random and they ended up murdered? The odds of anything happening are so slim. But that does not mean it's 100% guaranteed never to happen. So, for decades now, just like I wear my clothes, I always have a handgun on me or right beside me.
Lastly, besides everyone on here who now reads this, only my family knows that I always have a gun with me. I've never brandished it to a stranger coming to the house. They were all greeted with a warm and cheerful greeting. And the other side of me is just watching and waiting and is very ready
I don't expect to be hit by a car every time I cross a street, but still, I do look both ways before just running out. Likewise, I don't expect that there's a boogey-man behind every knock, but still, you just never know. Better my family be safe then me sorry.
