The bill is opposed by Minnesota Police and Peace Officers Association. One reason for the opposition, according to leadership, is that the bill could make gun owners more apt to shoot law enforcement officers who enter homes without permission.

Hasn't happened anywhere else with the Castle Doctrine.

If they are really that concerned, they could restrict SWAT teams to doing things that aren't illegal.

“Hasn’t happened anywhere else with the Castle Doctrine.”

It already happened before the current law in Minnesota.

In 2007, a police swat team broke down the door of a family in Minnesota. The father responded with shotgun fire, and stopped the assault.

The Vang family later received a large settlement from the city.
