Fine, mea culpa. How about a neighbor wondering why the door was swinging open? Somebody asking for help during a breakdown, etc?
Seriously, this is just like FJB joking about firing a shotgun through the door for crime prevention. The man still needed to make sure of his target.

The door was not swinging open - it was closed, and unlocked.
I live in the country on a little over 8 acres. My nearest neighbor is the cemetery next door. I often forget to lock one of my doors. I even sometimes sleep with a window open (during the winter!). If I heard someone coming through my unlocked - but closed - door, the dogs would alert me first, then I’d retrieve a self defense object and ensure that whoever, or whatever, it was did not have an opportunity to harm me or mine.
But, I’ve had range time and practice with various self defense objects (pew pew’s), and know the rules - and OODA loop.
