Glad it worked out okay because that could have gone bad fast. I think in that scenario, as soon as I saw him taking his first lunge up the stairs, I would have been back in my apartment, door closed, locked, and then armed.

Except for the fire extinguisher, trip down the stairs, and similar replies!

After further review, the trip down the stairs was the best. Imo.

lesson learned.
Back to studying this morning and I heard and unusual noise. So rather than just pop the front door open I had my EDC holstered. Peering out the peephole I saw the property manager's car. We are having a little bit of a noise battle between a few units and I not involved. Since I don't want to get involved I did not open the door.

The man did not do anything, thankfully. another way I could put it is 'I live in a secluded building where few people visit. I took a break for some fresh air and opened my front door without a EDC as I rarely even see anyone. A man was next to me in less than three seconds looking for money. I was surprised it happened that fast.'

I never meant in your situation...but one should always be polite and sociable while having a plan to kill everyone in the room if necessary...I expose myself regularly unarmed...but heaven help the person who even remotely telegraphs an intent to harm me or take something from me...

"I'm sorry, but I can't help you", as I close the door.

I see hints of a guncentric mentality in this thread

Guncentric would make an awesome username.
