Several years ago my Mom called me and told me someone had just tried to kick in her front door. She had no firearms in the home. She had recently has some issues with my step-brother, who lived about a half mile away, and had his own issues with prescription painkillers and his wife leaving him, so she thought it might have been him. She had not called 911. She lived outside a small village in the middle of nowhere (Isle of Wight County, Walters area), and LEO response for that area usually is poor. They spend most of their time on the "busy" end of the county, which makes sense when you have limited resources, but it does leave the "southerners" at a distinct disadvantage when bad things happen. Anyway, I told her I was on the way, that I would call 911, got dressed, grabbed my Mossberg 500 in addition to my sidearm, and took off from about 15 minutes away (City of Franklin). When I called 911, I advised them that I was responding, that I was armed, and what I was wearing and driving. Turns out I ran up behind the Deputy about a half mile from there, he was driving under the speed limit checking addresses. We pulled in together. I advised him who I was, I went left and he went right. We found no one outside and Mom was fine. Never a word was said about my weapons. Now, this was not the same scenario that the OP had, but the carry away point is that if you're outside (especially armed) and are expecting LEOs, you or your 911 caller should provide this information to the dispatcher. That was the night I convinced Mom to keep my 38, and to shoot anyone coming in the door. It didn't take much convincing either, even though on many other occasions she refused to even touch it or entertain the idea of shooting it. And my step-brother is currently in the pen after shooting up his GF's house and taking a pot shot at a Deputy in Southampton, I'm pretty sure in a failed suicide-by-cop.
