Is knocking on a door, or ringing a doorbell an unlawful entry?

@#4 ... Guns keep us safe from clean homes. ...

OK, my neighbor's son one time knocked on my front door.

He is not a white Christian, but a person of color.

The neighbor had just moved in to the adjacent rental property, so I did not know them.

So, this person, who I did not know, knocks on my door. I answer the knocking.

I open the door.

Was the first thing on my mind to shoot him dead?

No. Absolutely not.

I asked him, "what's up?"

He said that lives in the adjacent house and that his cell phone battery is dead and he needs to call his Mom because he cannot find the spare key to his house. Can he use my phone?

I said, sure.

I gave him my phone to use.

I also watched as he subsequently went into the adjacent house.

True story.

Sorry, but if that door is intact with no damage indicating attempted break in, the home owner should be charged.

Castle Doctrine doesn't give one the right to kill for simply being on your porch.

I agree, 100%.

I look forward to the court case here to see what evidence each side has to offer.

A white imbecile shot a Doordash deliveryman who was lost in NYS. The NYSP then discovered the shooter, a well-paid civil servant, was also trafficking in illegal firearms. This white supremacist had a good little deal going for himself in his quiet little corner of the world making money, until his irrational racist fear of non-whites undid him.

Makes one want to stop doing home delivery or house cleaning.

I used to deliver restaurant food. I had some weird ---- happen but nobody shot me dead.

I'm glad to be Out of that Game.

Trump demonizing Latinos is why she got shot and why they may Not prosecute the killer.

He's creating a world of Fear.

Police have not identified the people in the home or who fired the shot, saying in a statement on Friday that it is a "complex, delicate, and evolving case, and it would be both inappropriate and potentially dangerous to disclose that information".

This was another case where someone was shot through a door and killed.

When someone comes to my door, I see who it is.

I don't start shooting until much, much later.
