House to house Search .

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!.

Okay, the SWAT team is at the door and wants to search the house for a dangerous criminal that is on the loose. Knowing they will be coming in, either by "Exigent circumstances" or by eventual warrant, by letting them in to search is the scope of their search just limited to the bad guy? Is a 30rnd AR mag on the table or a marijuana plant in the corner included in the scope of the search?




Edit: Gee, take 20min to type a question and the whole topic changes.

Also, this is another reason why I opt to live in a rural community. You don't see this stuff happening as much. Send the reverse 911 calls out and hope the criminal is dumb enough to enter a redneck's home. LOL.

Not to mention, if this were in Denver, you better not have that AR or 30 round mag. Then you might have something to worry about.

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".

I would not let them in.

Ditto.

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?

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.

I wish we could get an LEO to chime in to see how they'd typically react in this situation if someone said "I've been home the entire time, no one is here. My house is secure and safe. You can't come in."
