Good conclusion Venus

Fully agree smurf. Only one thing needs to be changed. It goes back to one of the things I tell folks that decide to carry. I tell them, you not only need to decide that I will use the gun I carry but also confess that there is a possibility that I may loose the gunfight. If I loose the gunfight you can be sure that I would have lost the fight if I did not bring a gun. This I have already decided because I have known the facts of above wrong addresses. FACTS;
1. I know I have broken no laws.
2. Therefore the guys hollering POLICE cannot be. I don't have time to decide, look closely at uniform patches, call 911, ask for ID...as has been suggested above.
3. They outnumber me probably 10/1 or more. Probably more.
4. They have me greatly out armed & vastly out armored, & horrendously out ammoed.
5. When that shooting stops I won't be able to ask them for ID & I know that ahead of time. There are still some of us today that stand at the bridge of 1775.

Thanks KB. and Good morning.

Not only home invaders but the street hoods that shot the Trooper just out of Tyler a few months ago were also wearing it. You bet it is a war & the good guys are now as out gunned as they say the LEOs are. Refuse to be disarmed.

Yes Sparks you are right on the last thing you want to do is shoot a LEO that has the wrong house. Problem is that you will probably not even wound him. He will be armored & as soon as you fire there will be immediate return fire from them. There is really not a good answer today. I know there are some LEO depts that are addressing this issue of hard entry due to the incident stated and also "wrong house" Real LEOs but mistaken addresses. Every one has to spend much time thinking it through, then make their own decission what to do. I have spent the time & made mine.

Hope this wakes up the Father-in-law. Lubbock is home & Shadow Hills is his golf course. This type home invasion is getting more frequent & closer to home for all of us. Reason I & many others stay armed at the house.
