re: Florida deputy fatally shot US airman that answered the door with a gun

When a cop announces himself no it's not wise to open the door with a gun in your hand even if it is your right. It immediately escalates the situation and you get what you get as a result. If you got pulled over and brandished a gun even if legally allowed to do so do you not think that unwise ? I get the wanting to draw a line in the sand over your rights but a gun is a tool designed to kill and even if within your rights can and most likely will be taken as a threat.

"Stop making sense"

David Byrne, 1984.

Anyone who doesn't get this is too fricking stupid to get out of the rain, and I mean obscenely stupid. And this is coming from a guy who owns guns meant for self defense and has a concealed carry permit.

What sort of a-hole answers his door at 430 in the afternoon, knowing there's a cop on the other side, with a fricking gun in his hand? Who the frick does this shite? Goddamn, the absolute stupidity of it. It's utterly shocking.
