I don't get your point in this thread. You don't think I should be able to answer my own door with a firearm without being worried about being killed? If you can be killed for exercising your rights, you don't have rights.

Eh, I'm not sure anyone is arguing that. Its your right to answer the door with a gun, I agree.
The cop violated his rights. I'm sure the cop will be fired. The cop probably deserves a limited amount of jail time. But how much? I mean 12 months? More than a year seems ridiculous this wasn't a violent criminal and likely won't happen again.
Given all of that, if more people answered the door with a gun like that then more people would get shot.
If someone knocks on my door that hard, I'm screaming back to figure out who it is or I'm answering with my gun drawn if I'm that worried. Most likely, I'm not opening the door. That's just plain stupid to answer 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.
