My first reaction: sounds like a great way to get shot.

Click through, first few paragraphs mention people getting shot.

Yeah. I can't imagine even TikTok challengers are stupid enough not to recognize this as a assholeishly creative form of assisted suicide. Maybe people are just trying to commit robberies and think they can use TikTok as an excuse to camouflage intent if caught in the act.

This definitely won't become popular in Texas.

I actually don’t know if my deadbolt would survive a good kicking. Either way it’d make a hell of a racket and bring me running. If I come running to my door I‘ll pick up my shotgun on the way. I had planned to load it with rock salt, but I haven’t gotten around to that yet, so you’d get slugs. If the door survived I probably wouldn’t shoot you. Probably.
