i'm a male and had a similar experience a few years ago. It was about 8:00 p.m. and there was an insistent knocking on my front door. Not wanting to open the door, I went to the breezeway that's at a 90 degree angle to the door and has a window in it to take a look. There were about four young Hispanic males in an older car. As soon as I saw them, I ran for the bedroom to get my pistol and they ran in the opposite direction as fast as they could. It's the closest I've ever come to having to use a firearm in anger, and WAS I EVER GLAD TO HAVE IT. When I took off running, I bet they knew exactly what I was going to get, and I bet that's why they took off. If anything like that ever happens again, I'll get the weapon before I go to see who's there.

Wow! You are exactly right. You can not assume it's benign. (i'd never assume four hispanics in a junker are up to any good anyway)

And a gun in a safe does not do any good in many instances.
