Amen. God bless our Founding Fathers. Clearly we have the right to secure our homes.

I’m also curious about the counter point. When we defend our homes from illegal searches by the police, what if a police officer gets hurt because he was given the wrong address?

It’s not cut-and-dry to me — does our protection from illegal searches/seizures also include the right to injure officers?

On the one hand, I’d say that someone shooting at police is going to risk death himself. Officers are allowed to defend themselves.

On the other hand, is it reasonable to presume that the police are so evil that we should shoot at them?

Or if the officer had the right address, as was the case in this Indiana case, where the wife called 911 and the husband went over to her place (he'd left) and blocked the officer's entry to the place.
