I've seen DNR say they were going to arrest other Police Officers before. Do you know who they call when they think someone has drugs, but aren't sure? He just has "probable cause" and walks right in for them. No search warrant needed. I also heard of some State Police and FBI at a house a man was inside with a gun. He walks right in the middle and even tells the FBI Agent..."I'm running the show now"!

I wouldn't be breaking in with my gun put away, but.....just sayin'
if you were breaking into the place were i live you would have to make a ****e load of noise doing it, which would give me the element of surprise...
those myth busters vids were in a brightly lit area..differe breaking into a house at night would be a totallydifferent scenario..
There's ways to combat that now too. I'm old enough I was trained how to use my muzzle flash to see. We have night sights, weapons rail lights like a Streamlight M3 and even laser grips now like Crimson Trace.....let alone full night vision.
Crooks aren't safe even in the dark now. And NO...I have never seen a gangbanger use any of these modern devices. The crap guns they use won't support it. You need something like a modern GLOCK, Sig Sauer, S&W M&P, Springfield XDm to pull it off. The use of AR-15s in any variation is next to 0 in normal street crimes too. They will use the old shotgun they bought from the Widow Mrs. Smith at her garage sale. She doesn't know any better and sells it to them. They take it home and saw the barrel off to FEDERAL illegal lengths. Instant felony.....

i think it means both,, protection from gov, personal protection..
The ban on semi-automatics weapons should have never expired in 2004 and they need to be rebanned. If you disagree don't even bother to respond to my post since I will not change my mind on this position.
We know.
They should ban cars that travel faster than 65 mph while they're at it.
Oh...and loud music. Radios should not have the ability to go beyond a certain decibel level.
Ban cars on snowy and wet roads.
Ban abortion....100% fatal.
