View submission: Do you open doors to strangers?

I grew up in a pretty violent city with a high crime rate. If I don't recognize you, and you aren't a literal child in need of help, that door stays shut. If you keep knocking or if there is more than 1 of you I'm heading for the safe.

The only exception I can think of is a utility worker, but even then I'd be pretty cagey unless I could see your vehicle clearly marked as a utility vehicle.

Fun fact: the Jehovah's Witnesses parked BOTH of my cars in once, then multiple came to the door. That was a good time. Thankfully, I haven't seen them since.

What if an adult is lost or injured? Can you talk to them through a window? Must be ways to protect yourself and still offer potential aid without opening a door?
