Now if any of you guys have ever been there, it's pretty crowded. And we were in the lake george area before, but it had always been in a hotel or rental house, so a free week sounded pretty good. Anyway we got their in the morning and had a good time, the rest of the day. We went to the lake, we came back, took our atvs and motorcross bikes out around the property, played some football, took our jetskis out on the private pond, etc. Anyway it was somewhere around 2 in the morning and the girls were in the house watching tv and us guys, we were in the pool/hot tub. I mean, we didn't go to sleep until around 4-5 in the morning. Also, I think that this is important, the layout of the house isn't an ordinary "brick" style, it has different sides all around the house. I don't know if what I wrote makes sense, but still. So the pool is on the "front" side of the house facing the pond/lake and the garage is in the back of the house. And the house is also off the beaten path, there is approx. 5000 ft long gravel driveway from the road. Point is that at 2 in the morning and we hear these weird voices. I mean, sure we were talking but it wasn't us. And the girls were talking but they were in the house. And these weren't animal noises either, definitely not deer, bear, racoon, owl, etc. These were people talking and the voices were coming from the other side of the house, where the garage is. Well... all of our cars, atvs, motorcross bikes, and other gear were either inside of or in front of the garage. So one of my friends finally had enough, and said "S*it, I'm gonna go find a baseball bat." I had enough too, but I figured there was too many of us for anybody to shoot, even if it was a thief and it probably wasn't the cops. Even if it was the cops, we could have just called the owner. So I told my friends "You know what? I think we should just go introduce ourselves. All of us, a show of force kind of thing." So we go around the house, making sure that nobody could see us, even with the deck, pool, flood and house lights on. And when we got there we saw these three redneck punks our age, drunk as hell, with one of them on the laying flat on the ground, with his pants below his knees taking a piss. *I want to apologize if anyone is offended by the word redneck* Anyway, I finally say "What the hell is this s*it? WTF is going on here?" The one on the ground and another one of them started rubbing there eyes, as if they can't believe that they see us. You know, in that drunken, confused, dizzy state of mind. These two are also sputtering some sort of words that none of us can make out. So finally the one that seemed least drunk starts talking and says "Hey, my name's Bob, and we just wanted to introduce ourselves. We were bringing this bottle of balinoff over, but seeing how expensive it was, we decided to drink it along the way. And, I'm sorry for having taking a piss on that ducati of yours." Anyway, my friend got pissed off when he heard that the guy took a piss on his ducati and told him to "f*ck off and go home". We ended up laughing about how one of my friends thought that it was a bear when we got back inside the house. The next day around 8 or 9 in the morning when we were going back to lake george, we saw them crawling on their hands and knees on the road. (The actual road, not the driveway). So one of my friends called the cops told them that there were three rednecks, crawling on their knees in the middle of the road, drunk. We never saw them after that. |

These guys are usually harmless. They're working appointment-based commissions. There's nothing wrong with keeping the door shut. You also have every right to be upset about them stepping on your property to check out your vehicles. In fact, local ordinances usually give you free reign to call the non-emergency police line to report soliciting in your neighborhood. Groups that do this oftentimes don't have up-to-date soliciting licenses in your municipality. If they get a couple of tickets in your area, they're unlikely to come back in the near future.

The "being alone" in the house is the key. As a woman, I would never open a door to someone I did not know, day or night. It is just simply not worth it. If I decide I need to buy something, I will go out and find it or call someone who sells it. They sure don't need to come to my house to push it on me.
I think you did the right thing, even too much almost, by opening the door and giving them several warnings. One warning should have been enough, and the second statement out of my mouth would have been: You had your warning, I am calling the police!!! Anyway I would NOT say you are paranoid, just cautious, and there is nothing wrong with that!!!

You have the RIGHT to bare arm's and if someone where to be in your car port and were to continue walking toward you you could tell them your armed, if they continue you can show it, if continuing you have the right to use it.
