"...this seems pretty atypical for someone living in the middle of nowhere. Most people grab their gun if someone they're not expecting comes to the door at 10pm regardless of where you live." Only around 1/3rd of Americans own a gun or live with someone that does, so no, "most people" don't grab their gun if someone knocks after 10pm - most people don't even have a gun. If someone knocks on my door at 11pm, it's probably someone looking for a neighbor, if someone knocks at 3am, then I'll peek out the upstairs window to see if it's a neighbor, and if not, I might call the police or shout out the window to see what he wants.
