So what happens when the police officer kick in your door in the wee hours and you have *seconds* to decide whether a Common Criminal or a Government Employee is the intruder?

You shoot, obviously. Duh.

People are dumping on me for stuff I never said. The headline misquotes the Chicago PD. They did not say that if you were carrying legally that they would shoot you down. What they said was, if, on the street, you turned on a cop with a gun in your hand you might get shot.

Whatever other bad things the cops in Chicago do is not my concern. My only point was, IF you point a gun at a police officer, the ensuing events could ruin your day.

Just remember: Americans have died shooting police officers while defending their own homes.

And yes, the Chicago PD *is* corrupt enough to refuse to differentiate between legal and illegal gun owners. Innocent people will continue to be killed, in their own homes, in Chicago and elsewhere.

To suggest otherwise is naive at best.

Take care,
