Nobody would sick their dog on you or pull a freaking gun out of paranoia or whatever other reason there could be. I'd call such a place scary, unfriendly, uninviting and.. hard to grow up in.

That's not neighborly, that's invading someone's privacy. You could walk in on someone naked for instance or having sex or in the middle of a family argument.
As far as "small towns" go...the town I lived in as a child was Bowling Green, Florida. To this day it only has 2,800 people living there. I'd say it was VERY small.
Still don't know anyone in that tiny country town who would have just strolled into somebody else's home unannounced.
Teen years were in Bartow Fla. It's grown since the 1970's Today it has 16,959 people living there.
I would NEVER walk into a person's home without calling ahead, knocking, etc.
And since most people in those small towns own dogs...YES, you would probably get bitten by the family dog if you just walked in to the house. And back in the 1960's and 1970's where I lived people didn't keep their dogs chained up or in fences, they roamed freely. That's the way it was in small country towns.
Don't know why we're arguing this.
Does anybody else here on GFY think it's okay to walk into people's homes without even knocking?
