Can you imagine what the news story would be if the "badguys" were actually US Marshalls, SWAT or any other law enforcement agency with the wrong address?Paladin wrote:Packham shot thru the door, hitting one badguy. This is where I see some potential issues. Surprising the badguys and not letting them rush through the door is great from a tactical perspective. Shooting blindly is not great. One should ID a target before shooting. I don't know if the front door had glass or was solid... but shooting blindly through a solid door is risky.

It does seem complicated. I had to consider 1) night time 2) two guys go around the side of the house 3) one is kicking in the door. At that point, you have reason to believe your life is in danger. Burglary or assault isn't happening yet but the threat is there. On the other hand, shooting through a door is reckless. An innocent bystander could get hit. Unlikely but possible.
