- graemep 2mo agoHowever walking through the door would not be a crime in itself, where I live anyway.
- konart 2mo agoIt's funny how the two of our comments are polar opposites
- bryanrasmussen 2mo agowhere do you live? Most places I've lived if you walk into a private residence where you don't know anyone but the door is open that is unlawful entry or trespassing. Same if someone forgets to lock the door of their business when they close at 9 p.m and you go in at midnight.

- walthamstow 2mo agoIf you talking about Britain, it depends on why you walked through the door
- graemep 2mo agoI am, and yes, its not a crime in itself though, unlike picking the lock to get in.

Where I live it is legal to shoot a person who is an active and immediate threat to your property, self, or other persons. Any person walking through the front yard in the daytime while you are inside, not an active threat. An unknown person entering your dwelling through an unlocked open door is an active threat. In the above case of a woman's house she would probably be praised as a hero, or at least a role model, for shooting the intruder.
