I have answer latenight knocks with my pistol in hand several times. Once was when a cop rang the doorbell at almost midnight. He never saw the gun (they never will unless it's go time), and I set it on a shelf beside the door when I saw who it was. That time he was being nice and letting me know our garage door was still open (and I was very thankfull). Other times I have had a homeless guy asking for food (at 2:00 am). I used to live in a VERY bad neighborhood a long time ago.
I have also had gun-in-hand answering the door during the day too. I consider it an appropriate level of paranoia. It doesn't affect my day-to-day life, but it keeps me and those around me safer.
