If I get arrested for walking down the street while carrying concealed by an "less educated" LEO. I have a defense to prosecution with my CHL. Sure you can call my carrying legal, but it's all about the law and it's interpretation.

I wouldn't be so bold as to call something covered by "defense to prosecution" as completely legal. Legal would ensue that there is no wrong doing, and completely legal. It's like getting into "rights."

What I mean is, don't take anything for granted as being legal. Take it to the wrong cop, or wrong fed, and they won't care what is or isn't legal. TAM is right about it not technically being perfectly legal, but as far as I'm concerned, there is no LEGAL in a lawbook. It's all different shades of gray, with some areas making more sense then others. After all, it's all interpretation, isn't it?

Some of the hyperbole here is really over the top.

I have NEVER, NEVER in 20 years of being a home owner had any pizza delivery guy beating on and attempting to kick down my door. They ring the bell and wait patiently for me to open the door.

And to add, no door to door candy bar salesman, no Girl Scouts, no Jehovah's Witness, no Clean Water Petition hippies, neighbors or friends or anyone else for that matter has ever tried to kick in my door. Somebody trying to kick in my door is up to no good, really.

I'm not saying I'd take a shot through the door. I'm just saying it's NOT the pizza guy.

We've got to consider the What-Ifs on this. "What if the person banging on your door like they're trying to knock it down is some person trying to get help because ______.

It's not wise to shoot through a door in my opinion. I cannot find it in myself to shoot through my door without first identifying my target. Myself and my wife retreat with the kids to the big guns and shooting corridors. I'd rather wait at the end of the hallway in the dark with my 12ga, then blindly engage an unknown perceived threat. I have solid doors, not glass doors btw.

It can be justified, but will it be justifiable with your morals? I know what is and isn't to me.
