I don't give a frick if the cop announced himself as Jesus Christ...the dude should be able to answer his own door with a firearm without worrying about being killed.



IMO how this gets overlooked is wild. if anything it justifies him answering a door with his firearm, its pretty much the point of 2a. are you supposed to just lick the boots before you even know why they need to be licked in your own home before you even know what is happening?

It's a symptom of people who are "real big 2A guys, but..."

They want to look like they live the 2A life on social media, but they're not willing to put in the work.

this is where I am falling.

The fact is is the cop did not give the guy a reasonable amount of time to follow the orders before he blasted him away. Its not illegal to answer your own door with a gun. It doesn't really matter if it was a dumb move or not. It is well within your rights as a citizen to do so, and it does not give a cop the right to start shooting at you, especially after sketchily banging on the door then hiding around the corner out of sight of the peephole. If the cop had said drop your weapon and the guy raised the weapon, then different story. But that is not what happened. The cop shouted orders and then a second later (maybe less) started unloading on this dude. The cop murdered this dude. There is no way around it.
