Someone knocked at the door...

[TMM]

So i was enjoying Tom Waits from my iPod upstairs, when i thought i heard a knock. i turned off the music, and looked out. parked in my driveway was a black SUV. i heard another knock, and i went down to investigate, not saying "be right there", as per usual. i opened the door to a...

sharp looking young man of about 25 or 30 with a baby in his arms, and he asked me if i knew what the paint color of our house was, because he liked it.

Moral of the story: not all uninvited visitors are bad, and do not deserve no reply.

MOre correctly, most aren't bad. But that doesn't mean we should let our gaurd down. When I get a knock after dark and do not recognize the vehicle/person, I answer open the door only partially exposing myself; my right hand is behind the door with a pistol in it.

"You with the Baby!!!!"


"DROP the BABY!!!!"


Sorry. Inside joke for anyone who was at last year's NTI.

One house clearing stage had the practitioner enter his brother's dwelling. Present was a woman holding her child in her arms as part of the scenario. One practitioner noticed her, and made that challenge just as vigorously as if she had a gun in her hands.

RO's reply, in an incredulous tone - "Drop the BABY???"

 

[Rezin]

He's got a......................... BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes , someone with a baby especially a woman makes most people drop their guard . One of the cons I learned many years ago was a two person team of robbers. A pleasant woman stops and asks about your flowers etc. Proudly you show and talk about your flowers. While you're distracted the second person of the team enters your house and very quickly picks up easily carried money etc.... Women with babies have also been used in wartime to smuggle things in the carriage !

Ban babies.

It's not like there is a shortage of humans.

 

[gcerbone]

As a parent, I can tell you that there is no such thing as a high-cap diaper.

 

[Stevie-Ray]

He borrowed the baby and was casing the contents of your house.


Could happen. I'd be careful.

Does that mean they've found a way to cram extra rounds into a standard cap?

 

[dragongoddess]

That could have been a Baby Nambu. At the very least it was a device for pumping gas into the air.

 

[hso]

dragongoddess,

That was worthy of the Pater Peter Ewwww (stinky pun) Award! Well done.

I would be more concearned as to why a man wanted to know the color I used to paint my house

Yeah! My thoughts exactly.

 

[Mr. Ouchie]

Because he liked the color and wanted to paint his house the same shade? Geez, like a man can't like colors. Better than sitting at Home Depot looking at 50 million color chips.

 

[Mainsail]

Wait, you forgot the part about the 1911. Didn't the incredibly powerful .45 cal round do anything powerful or incredible?

 

[CornCod]

Was that a baby or a Browning Baby. If it were the latter, I would have considered lethal force!

 

[gezzer]

More important What was the color of your house? We need to know the whole story!

 

[FPrice]

"He's Got A Baby!!!"

Make sure you point that thing in a safe direction. (Just ask my aunt who (I am told) got too close while changing my diaper one day)

 

[springmom]

Given my children's history pre-toilet training, I'd say that all babies are Browning Hi-Powers....

Trust me, my daughter had high-cap diapers, man they stank ... can't wait to tell her dates about it...LOL Then again I told her she could not date until she was fifty or I was dead...so I got a long wait or it will never happen...LOL

She is nine now...

Democrats came by and knocked on the door while I was at the range today (they left a crappy flyer, so I know it was them). Wife ignored them because I wasn't home and she doesn't like opening the door.

Even with the nice guy the first poster met asking about paint colors, there was no advantage to opening the door and there WAS possible disadvantage.

I'm not going to assume every person knocking on my door is a home invader or liberal, but I won't assume their not either.

 

[mbt2001]

Let me just make the following criticism... Tom Waits... OK

Now seriously, why would someone bring a baby to a door of someone that they do not know in an area that they are not familar with? Seriously, there is something wrong with that scenario. We can all say "hey it was just a baby." But would you do it?

No...

Crime is equal opportunity these days.

 

[Big Gay Al]

I had some Democrats in my neighborhood last week, going around, knocking on doors, passing out flyers. I answered the door, and one of them handed me a flyer, and went into their spiel about why I should vote for their candidate, and while they're talking, I had to turn slightly to my left to stop the dog from going out to sniff them. Well, the got an eyeful of my Taurus PT92, holstered on my right side, and stopped to ask, "Are you a Police officer?" "Nope." "Um, ok. Well it was nice talking to you, good bye."

I think I'm gonna get me some camoflage fatigues with a Michigan Militia tag on it, and wear those for the next time.

Ban babies.

It's for the children...
