“I have never, ever had an instructor say it would be appropriate to shoot an unarmed person that was standing in front of armed police - even if the person was standing on the wrong side on the door.”

If someone is coming in through a busted out window, I’m opening fire. I have no obligation to retreat. The fact that there are police behind the person climbing through the window doesn’t take away my rights.

Some here may consider the woman a hero. ALL I’ll say is that it’s sad she lost her life but I’m not going to dwell on it.

On public property?

I think what you probably mean is if someone was coming through a broken window into your home, and that person was not a fireman trying to put out a fire in your home, and you were not a felon yourself in possession of an illegal firearm, and you were in fear of your life . . .

But of course none of these thing apply to the killing in the Capitol that we are discussing.

Wow. Sad. There were 3 or 4 heavily armed guards just behind her. Threat to who?
