So what would’ve happened if a law-abiding citizen exercised their right to self-defense and opened fire on whoever it was that was USING A CHAINSAW to break into their home at 3am in the morning?

I see these stories every so often (and wonder about the stories that you KNOW get covered up) and I’m waiting to hear something like this:

(UPI) San Diego, California. San Diego police report the deaths of twelve armed Federal agents who early this morning attempted to dynamically enter the home of GySgt. Robert Smith. Smith, a twenty year veteran of an undisclosed SEAL team, reported that he was awakened at 3am by the sound of heavy footsteps on his porch. When he heard the sound of a chainsaw being used on his front door he said he took defensive action with his two legally owned .45 caliber automatic handguns. Investigators report that Smith fired thirteen times at the Federal agents who were trying to arrest a suspected drug dealer at a similar address in San Dimas but came to Smith’s house in San Diego by mistake.
The District Attorney’s office says that no charges will be filed against Smith who was “clearly just defending himself”. Federal agents who later tried to take Smith into custody were rebuffed by San Diego police officers and Marine Corps personnel.
There was no comment from the Federal agency responsible for mistakenly sending the twelve agents to Smith’s home outside of that Smith’s door would be replaced.

I wish I had a legally owned 45 caliber automatic handgun.

What would happen if a law-abiding citizen took out one or more JBTs who were raiding the wrong address and lived to tell about it?

GySgt. Robert Smith. Smith, a twenty year veteran of an undisclosed SEAL team,

Uh, if he's a GySgt, he would be a Marine. SEALs are Navy. ;)

I took the liberty of editing it.
