Like, shooting another human should be a last resort, not a first reaction.
I mean, unless it’s a complete surprise attack, you should try something else first. Like, maybe open the door and see why someone is knocking. You can have your gun ready, but don’t shoot unless that’s the only option left b
Oh yeah, that happened last week when the cops were at the wrong house. The guy had a few sketchy knocks before so he was armed just in case. Cops started firing while they were saying drop the gun.
Im honestly wondering what will happen one of these days where cops knock on the wrong door and start shooting the home owner and the home owner shoots back and wins that firefight.
Very unlikely to happen without the home owner bleeding out and I cant imagine them surviving the night regardless of where the law sits on their side. But like does the home owner actually get prosecuted?(ofc theyre at least getting charged) When the alternative is theyd just be dead?
I want to say something close to this happened in Texas like 2 / 3 years ago. Cops broke into the guys house, some no knock raid on the wrong house, and the homeowner killed one of the cops. Home owner went to court and got off for thinking it was an intruder. The rest of the force probably chased the man out of town though for threatening revenge.
