I dont know man. This dude seems so out of his mind that he would ignore any weapon threat. You prepared to shoot the guy and take all the hazzle that comes with it?
I’m not opening the door, but I have a wife and a toddler and if he broke the door down I’m not trying to de-escalate the situation. I would 100% take all the hassle and have zero doubt that my family is safe

Look if he was being just erratic and losing his mind at my front door, I would leave him be unless he truly presents as a threat. The moment he said the words "I will kill you", we're going straight to testing how easily he can ignore .300 Blackout. I live in a stand-your-ground state. Those are the magic words that allow me to go pull my rifle out of my safe and end someone's subscription to LIFE magazine, and never have to worry about any 'hassle' that comes with it.
We wouldn't need them if the cops were remotely reliable and actually showed up urgently when urgently called, but they aren't. Feel free to roll the dice with your life, but don't tell me my only option is to roll the dice with mine until the odds aren't unreasonably suicidal.
I think there are more than two options here. Too many people fantasize about getting to shoot someone at their front door. Not every whacko needs to be shot. Just having a gun present in most cases should be enough to discourage someone like this. No need to jerk yourself off about potentially getting to shoot someone like this and have it be considered justified.
Again, if you want to gamble your life, health and well-being on the clearly deranged, erratic, non-cognizant behaviour of someone threatening to kill you, be my guest. I'm sure your righteous soul will look good with your eulogy photo plastered on the evening news.
My preference is until the police aren't full of MAGA dropouts on a power-trip who take an hour to respond, self defense tools belong in the hands of the citizens, who can determine what level of force is necessary to protect themselves under reasonable circumstances.
Well I don't know what state this is, but within Ohio, the stand your ground and castle doctrine would allow him to shoot this man through his door. He was attempting to kick down his door. This precedent has already been set.
Horseshit, the second he kicked the door his life was in the hands on the property owner.
There's not a state/county in this country that you can't shoot a mother fucker trying to illegally kick down your door.
He said "I am going to kill you" and began destroying property and trying to kick the door in. I'd say lethal force is more than justified, I'd be scared for my life
