“Yeah, a malicious person is going to bother ringing the doorbell”

I mean, yea that is a tactic home invaders use. It's a good way to get someone to unlock their door. Is it a reason to shoot somebody for ringing your doorbell? Absolutely not, but being cautious about who you answer for doesn't hurt.

Sure, it happens, but most of the time it’ doesnt. Most people will never have that happen in their lives.

An appropriate response to that fear might be using an intercom or chain lock or video doorbell to find out, or get a dog, or choose not to answer the door

I just don't answer the door.

Not because I'm afraid of boogeymen, or anything, but because I just can't be arsed. No one I want to talk to would try knocking or ringing my doorbell. It's inevitably some tiresome asshole selling something, or pestering me about their whackadoo specialty religion, or begging for something, or it's the cops with the wrong address.
