Do you always feel threatened when someone you do not know talks to you?
I don't know if this was directed to me or not, but in response: Out in public, no I don't feel threatened when someone I don't know comes up to me and talks to me. At home, I do feel some apprehension when certain folks come around that obviously don't look like they belong in my neighborhood knocking on my door. Obviously I didn't invite them, and my requirement to interact with them may range from a minor annoyance to genuine concern.
Used to be a friendly gesture to say howdy.
I know my neighbors and they or their kids are always welcome. FWIW, I've never run anyone off my property with a gun. I just get a little ornery with pushy salesmen every now and then.
