The officer responds to a call for help ~ from your house.

You don't know about it. You are lying there half awake in front of the TV catching the last of the game in LA ~ wearing your holster ~ ready to go.

The cop knocks at the door ~ the door swings in ~ somebody forgot to close it all the way.

You lurch around and pull your piece ~

That right there is unlawful entry. If they do not identify themselves and then still decide to storm in through the door, in any homeowners view, they are a intruder and can legally be shot.

Yup. that's going to happen every day from now on.

You're an idiot.

First of all, the half asleep citizen isn't going to know that that was a cop to begin with, so the LEO is not in any more danger than if the law hadn't been passed. The citizen is reacting to a threat presuming it would be a criminal, like he would if the law hadn't been passed.

If the door swings open, it doesn't mean the LEO stepped INTO the house. All he has to do is stay outside and said half asleep citizen CANNOT legally shoot anyone anyway. So again, the LEO is no no more danger than if the law hadn't been passed.
