Without actually going to the door you do not know which house it is, even the post man doesn’t since the boxes are a community box at end of the drive (if they even have one and no a PO Box in town).
Doesn't that mean he should be more careful about not shooting someone's dog? In a situation where innocent people, kids, dogs are around, there should be a higher degree of caution than if the house is positively verified to have criminals or criminal suspects in it.
whenever an occasion for me to drive on to one’s property, whether I know them or not,either city or rural, I blow the car horn or make a very loud noise.
I do not exit vehicle unless someone invites me to step down. If no one shows I leave.
At the age of 77+ i have never had any proplems using that “RULE”.
