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.

They shouldn't be shot.

That's the point...

Am I living in Crazy Town right now?? This dude MURDERED someone. And it’s on camera. And you think anything more than a year in jail is ridiculous?

Murder is a violent crime. Tax fraud will get you 4 years and no one stops to blink an eye. But if a cop murders you, it’s not a violent crime and let’s just let him off with a slap on the wrist? This shite is just going to keep happening if we constantly make excuses for them when it happens.
