[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1483753, member: 14668"] 1. If I can get close enough to the house with the package car, I will see the dog [I]before[/I] I get out of the package car and the dog will recognize me as the UPS driver who gives him cookies rather than a stranger walking up the driveway with a flashlight. The greater the distance between the package car and the house, the greater the odds that there will be a [I]surprise[/I] encounter between the driver...who is now on foot and unrecognizeable.... and the dog. It is not particularly common for large aggressive dogs to be roaming free inside city limits, whereas it is commonplace out in a rural area. 2. Women alone at home with children at 10:00 at night in an [I]urban[/I] area will look out their window and if they see a UPS truck at the curb they will probably open the door. If they don't see a UPS truck, they will call 911 or a neighbor and help will usually arrive fairly quickly. Women alone at home with children at 10:00 at night in a [I]rural[/I] area don't [I]have[/I] streetlights or neighbors to rely on, and the response time to a 911 call is far greater than it is in town. Hence the reliance upon firearms for protection. [/QUOTE]
