I have had the cops show up at my door at 0300 because my dog was barking at some teenage idiots who were wandering the neighborhood. I opened the door pissed off and with a .45 stuck in the the front of my shorts, no shirt, and upon see the firearm the cops told me that I had to give them the firearm immediately. I informed them that they could KMA and reached behind the door for my 12 gage. Upon hearing the round load, their attitude changed real fast. I informed them that I am in my private residence and that I do not believe that they are police officers and will be exercising my "Make My Day Law" if they do not leave immediately. I do love the laws in Colorado.

They left real quick and about 5 min later I got a call stating that the police would be there to confiscate my firearms to ensure public safety. My response was "No Problem should be fun for you, I will not give over any of my firearms to anyone and my dog is now in the house."

The idiot on the phone stated that I was a hazard to the public safety and that they had a duty to disarm me. I informed this idiot that I never left my house and never threatened anyone with a firearm, but when I am awakened at 3am I will answer the door with a gun. He told me that this was unacceptable and that the police WOULD disarm me.

I then informed this idiot that I have already called all 3 news networks in Denver and that I had not broken any laws I would be defending my property and house with all of my firearms to my ability. He then asked what did I mean by that? I informed him that I did have a German Mauser 7.65 and all of the rounds that I did have in the house are armor piercing, had not reloaded for hunting yet, and none of the armor they had would stop the rounds.

For some reason he hung up and called back in about 20 min apologizing for the inconvenience and I would not be bothered again.

My Brother is a cop in Aurora, CO and since he got on the force his attitude has changed drastically.

I really am surprised you are still with us. I would have expected to hear about an armored vehicle crashing through your front door and all your 'stockpile' of weapons being displayed on the network news after your death.

Do you mean your brother's attitude has shifted towards a police-state mentality now that he's a police officer or that he sees it first hand and believes you now?

Interesting story. I know you were in the right but I can't believe they didn't come back and WACO your a$$. : )

How did his attitude change? Better or worse? As a side note I grew up in Aurora. Left there in 1980.
