The door is protecting you, even if unlocked. You have the ability and time to lock it. And if the person on the other side of the door is not armed, how much danger are you in? Not defending against lethal force, presumably. Assume it's a screen door? A glass door? Don't see how you argue through a wood or steel door.

Americans need instructional videos on de-escalation and civics. Neighborliness. They would have done this in the 1950s.
