This was over a burglar alarm going off, too. My grandmother used to accidentally set her alarm off once in a while, half the time didn't even hear it. I can't imagine if she had to deal with cops bursting through, guns drawn and ready to shoot!
So you are saying that gun owners can go willy nilly and shoot whoever they think are threats. And then we should let them off. Well maybe gun owners shouldn't be allowed to own guns because they don't know better.
Little strange that's how you took it, but I guess your understanding of cops being trained on who's house to enter and who's not is limited. Citizens are not to go around willy nilly as you say shooting people and for the most part gun owners are not doing this. As citizens we know there's other crazy citizens out there, we don't expect cops to rush into our house uninvited or the least a warning before entering.
A man randomly attacked two people with a hammer in NYC a couple of weeks ago. When it happened, I said the same thing you just did, only I substituted Texas with NYC.
