So what if it had been a gun? Answering your door with a gun in your hand is now a capital crime?

Great point! He asked who was at the door and got no response. What would any of us gun owners have done with our real guns? If someone rings my door bell and I don’t know who them, I will have a gun in my hand when I open the door. If I open it at all.

Apparently it is worse than a crime. Crime leads, typically, to an arrest or an attempted arrest. Answering the door with a gun in your hand is now more than a crime. The officer must have been a fast draw or already had her weapon in-hand for this probation visit.
