Not always.Keith B wrote:I still disagree. Even as a special forces person and trained, unless you are there in the home at the time, a call to the police should be the FIRST thing that is done. The police can respond with multiple units in case there are multiple BG's. We are not police, and walking into a potentially deadly situation when you are not at risk of serious injury or death in the first place, even if you are trained, is just a bad idea.
Now, calling police on the way, then arriving at the home and waiting OUTSIDE, then stopping the guy as he came out before police arrive would be a different thing. But, going in to clear the house/apartment yourself is just dumb idea, trained or not.
If the similar situation happened to me, it wouldn't be the first time I cleared a house. It may not be the last either.
