You do that in the US, and they will shoot you.
Imagine that you live in a suburb. Imagine it is 3am, you are sleeping with your family, and suddenly a very loud and forceful knocking on the door for 10 seconds. That happened to me, and the only reason I did not bring my gun when I was checking what is going on is because I do not have one. But at that moment I really wished I had.
But if there was an intruder they probably wouldn't want to make you aware of their presence correct? If someone was trying forced entry wouldn't they just do it?
Do you think you can think logically at 3 am? And honestly I have no idea how those people think. As a human being I would not forcefully knock to someone in the middle of the night just to scare them. So, all bets are off. Maybe they come for lynching. How would I know?
