House to house Search .

Nobody said it would go well to stand up, but it rarely ever does.

People who are ok with this house to house sweep...are you HONESTLY ok with shutting the whole city down as well?

Now you're putting words in my mouth. I didn't say I was OK with it. I said it was most likely legal and would hold up under the exigent circumstances rule. And as far as I know, city officials only requested people stay at home/inside. It wasn't mandatory. I even heard the Boston mayor thanking people for complying with the "request".

Ah my apologies I didn't mean to put words in your mouth.

Under the circumstances presented? Yes. Then again, I don't have any problem with Abe Lincoln's temporary suspension of habeas corpus under the circumstances he had. This isn't the house-to-house sweep looking for stuff to confiscate that gives Bloomberg, Morse and Obama wet dreams, this is looking for an active threat to YOUR COMMUNITY. The kid has already shown his willingness to kill indiscriminately and inflict massive casualties on the community at large. Could these "emergency powers" be abused -- damned straight they can because they have been in the past but that doesn't mean they're being abused NOW.

So another hypothetical question. You know an armed and dangerous suspect is loose in your area so you arm yourself. Lets say it's with you AR or other preferred assault weapon of death.

You are on high alert in your own home and there is a knock on the door by SWAT or otherwise. Do you secure the weapon before opening the door? Do you return it to your safe or simply set aside away from the door and your person? Is there a protocol for such a situation?

That is why I feel like I would want to decline them entry..

cuz the second they come in the door and see the pistol or shotgun ( even uncle joes old double barrel) I'm gunna end up on the ground with a couple of m4's aimed at my skull while I get put in cuffs and dragged off... or what if one of them gets a bit jumpy and has an ND...

Ok I'm glad I'm not the only one with this thought process.

I'm actually pretty surprised that among the 2A crowd here this is a minority viewpoint.

Well I started it off cuz I saw them doing it on video ...

I then looked around my house for a second. My AR happens to be sitting out at the moment. no real good reason other then I can't afford a safe but it was even out of the case and out of the hiding spot cuz I was fiddling with it yesterday.

I understand they are ratched up.. ... so I just worry about the side stuff happening cuz they are in a foul mood.. they lost one of their own and have another wounded.

But yeah they supposedly did reverse 911 calls the second I got that call the AR would have been locked and loaded, Eotech turned on and damn the batteries!.

This would be why I wouldn't let them in. I'd likely have at least my CCW gun on me and probably another home defense long gun in hand or within reach. If they barged in with itchy trigger fingers it wouldn't take much for the situation to get out of hand. They have stressful jobs in normal times, these officers doing this are likely right on the edge with everything in the last 18 or so hours.

[Cylinder Head]

If it means they catch this fucker I'd let them in, I'd even offer them a few PMAGs filled with the good stuff.

This panic in Boston is going to be good for 2A. How could you NOT want a gun after this fucker is running around a suburb trying to hide?
