Yeah, the Red Flag law is bad but geeezzz ... you answer a door with a gun in your hand when the police are the ones that are knocking?
Who in their right mind would do that? Maybe the Red Flag was needed in this case.
Don't be an ass. You certainly can have a gun in your possession in your own home. And I know places in Maryland where you had better have one.
This law and ones like it make criminals out of otherwise good people minding their own business, and in this case DEAD citizens out of people minding their own business.

Someone comes a ‘knocking’ on your door @ 5AM...
He may not have known who was knocking - it depends on how his home is laid out. It's a bad law and bad decisions combining to produce the expected bad consequences. I hope the person who reported him feels guilty for the rest of his (her?) life.
At 05:17 I would be armed also!!! This is BS. There is no reason for this to happen at that hour, 08:00 - 17:00 I probably won’t be holding a Firearm.
Did the cops ID themselves ? Probably Not. From the Article there was NO Search Warrant either. And it’s UNCONSTITUTIONAL!!!!

It was 5:17 in the morning. What are the police coming around to someone’s home at 5:17 am. Carrying a gun around in your home is nobody’s business. There is no reference to a current crime that would warrant the police intervention.
