Andrew Lee Scott could tell you what happens when the police beat on your door in the early morning hours with out identifying themselves. Well, he could if he was still alive.

"It's just a bizarre set of circumstances. The bottom line is, you point a gun at a deputy sheriff or police office, you're going to get shot," [Lt. John] Herrell said.
I'm assuming this Lt. Herrell is an officer with some department. His words makes it sound like a gang. "Be prepared to get dead if you do somethin we don't like."
There's also that old cliche, 'resistance is futile.'~
I could sympathize with their "we thought he was a murderer and he was pointing a gun at us!" if wrong addresses weren't so damned common and they actually identified themselves. When someone comes aknockin at my door at inappropriate times, I always answer armed. Either gun in hand, or hidden on my person. Usually in hand, though hidden behind my back.
My aunt got quite the scare back on July 4th, when I thought my entire family was at family friend's house for a party. That was the day I ended up in the emergency room severely dehydrated and diagnosed with pneumonia. Which is why I was home. My aunt lives next door, and I knew my cousin was at the party. So I thought she was too. I sent my mother a message asking when she'd be home because I had gotten really sick. I guess what happened was that she took too long to respond and I ended up going to bed, then I didn't respond when she did. So she called my aunt to check on me. I heard someone enter my house, called out demanding they identify and got no response. So I quickly grabbed my gun and loaded it. She 'bout nearly had a heart attack when she turned the corner and saw me holding my handgun. :lol:
