Door Knocking Safety

Hi  All,

The recent tragedy of the realtor that was killed while showing a home serves as an unfortunate reminder of the potential risks posed by door knocking.  I never go alone; I usually take my sister.  Even though I'm not going alone, I'm always uneasy about walking into an unknown situation with an agitated home owner.  I know it's an effective method for getting deals, but the safety factor makes me dread it.  Am I being paranoid? Anyone care to share scary moments, or, pleasant surprises?
