No offense intended with this question, but have any of you "door watchers" ever experienced anything that made that type of vigilance necessary, or is it just peace of mind? I have never cared about that and can't think of one time when anything dangerous has happened in a restaurant I've been in.
I would wager the farm that, in cases we see on the news where bad things happened somewhere and people were killed, it was the first time it happened there and to them. Had those people not waited for it to happen the first time, the outcome may have been different. I've never had a serious wreck but I still put on my seatbelt when I get in the car.
But to answer your question, yes, I've had an incident. It was in a parking lot outside a large retail establishment at night. I was prepared then and the fact that I was prevented a group of Amish from doing harm to me and those with me. Fortunately I didn't have to kill any of them.
