If someone bashed in my front door they'd get a full mag of .40s and I'd probably wind up dead, too. $8 million really doesn't cover it.
Your said it!
That would happen at my house too!
They better be quick of they would be eating a mag full of .223 as soon as I found them with my night scope.

I remember when the police LOOKED like police. Now it is a bit difficult to tell them from the bad guys. Faces covered, ID covered, middle of the night raids. Just like I have always told my children about the KKK; anytime you are either not man enough, or too ashamed of what you are doing to show your face - them it probably isn't the thing to do.

Cordially,

"anytime you are either not man enough, or too ashamed of what you are doing to show your face - them it probably isn't the thing to do."

This bears repeating.

I don't even think that matters. It's not like it would be hard for home invader types to buy police uniforms, or facsimiles, and use police like tactics when breaking in.

Why should the burden be on the homeowner to hold his fire, then find out he guessed wrong? I say if the cops bust in, you should be able to ventilate them with impunity unless they can come up with some foolproof way for the breakin-ees to ascertain their ID BEFORE they enter.
