Well said, Jmortimer.
a large man on the porch won't leave until he talks to you
But they're getting worse all the time, on the phone AND on the porch. Last I had here was told from my chair, since screen door was only thing between us, "Not interested." He replied, "I can understand, sir, but if you would just..." I got up and confronted him, saying "What part of no don't you understand?" He argued that I didn't seem to understand....at which point I opened the door, got in his face and shouted GET TO HELL OFF MY PORCH BEFORE I THROW YOU OFF! He got the message, was giving me horrified looks while writing in a book, hopefull writing customer is an AH, do not visit. We've gotten far fewer visits since. I'M NOT INTERESTED DAMMIT!, is generally the last thing I have to say on the phone, also. It's gotten so old, it's taken pestering to a whole new level. Up north, since the front door is in another room, I simply don't answer it.It sounds as all you and your wife had was a pushy sales rep, Pain in the ass yes, but NOT a threat to her life..
It's not terribly uncommon for burglars to knock to determine if anyone is home and if they get no answer, to attempt entry.Up north, since the front door is in another room, I simply don't answer it.
It cracks me up that a 10 YO gets it but so many think that carrying at home is a sign of paranoia.

A 10 YO is still young enough to believe that you know what you're talking about, even if you don't.

I generally don't look to a 10 year old child's fear of "bad guys" for decisions about firearms or OPSEC. Why is your son so paranoid in the first place? Seemingly he picks up up your behavior. No way to live a life. If you are not geeked-up to condition orange when you are wearing a hand gun, then you do not understand the whole Cooper condition scheme. I for one would like to relax at home. Therefore, I have fences, dogs, lights, barriers, etc. Common sense.
You really need to tighten her up on security. In 2012 going through life like that you WILL be a victim. Good luck.
