To be further prepared, l fenced the property with a 3-rail fence and gate that remains closed and locked at all times. It's a mental barrier for normal people so I am prepared to draw if there is a knock on the door or any person approaches me outside because I know they have jumped the fence.
Exactly. My whole property is fenced, and the gate is always locked, so anyone who knocks on the door isn't supposed to be there unless I was expecting them. So the mere knock on the door is an alert to something not being quite right.
