You all are making me out to be some mall-ninja gun-nut psychopath with a bloodlust. When did it become ok for law enforcement to break down your door, UNANNOUNCED and for no good reason? Does the term gestapo mean anything to you?

If I'm protecting my family from a perceived threat (i.e. an unannounced home invasion, regardless by whom), I doubt there would be a jury in this district that would find me guilty of homocide.

If someone is getting their brains bashed in by a drug-addled lunatic, break down the damn door! But make damn sure you've got witnesses to your claim!

I was taught in a defensive handgun class that your life is on the line 3 times when you use a gun: saving your life by firing the gun, convincing the LEOs that your life was on the line and claiming your life was in danger in front of a jury. If the LEOs are the criminals (i.e. Katrina looting and patently illegal gun confiscations), who are we to rely upon for protection of our lives and properties but ourselves?

C'mon guys... this isn't rocket science. The Second Amendment was instituted to provide the people a way to protect themselves (a GOD-GIVEN RIGHT to life) and to hold the government accountable to its citizenry lest a dictator attempt to usurp our freedoms. I don't believe what I spout is unreasonable. If you break down my door, no attempt to make contact with the resident, then you're going to be met with extreme resistance.

Yes -- you just lost the argument by using it.

The decision only covered emergencies. An emergency is a good reason.

If you break down my door, no attempt to make contact with the resident, then you're going to be met with extreme resistance.

Good luck with that, Rambo.

Do you think they have the right to break down your door unannouced for a GOOD reason?

No, you made yourself out to be that.

That's not what this is about. Read your initial remarks in context to see why so many are perceiving you to be a nutcase.
