SWAT Team Raids Innocent Family Over Stolen AirPods Dropped on Their Street
St. Louis County Police have some explaining to do

If my door explodes off the hinges, I'm emptying my Colt .45 into the hole. I'd better hear "POLICE!" and see some red and blues first.
EDIT: Apparently y'all just gonna lay down when the fascists come. I'd rather die with my boots on. That is not a knee-jerk reaction. I've thought on it quite a bit. You do you.
you die sad and alone on the foor of your living room, body still in shock after 20 new holes are created by the swat team.
You are a moron.
He's using a .45 in 2024. Evaluating available options and weighing the pros and cons is not in his wheelhouse.
Eh, .45 is still a good caliber when concealment is not a factor.
It's fine, but the same size gun will hold a lot more 9mm and training with it is way more affordable. There's not enough difference in lethality to worry about. The only situation where I'd take a 45 over a 9 would be shooting suppressed and subsonic since that's the only time the bigger bullet would really be helpful.
Cool story, bro.
Oh please, you wouldn't have it out of the holster before the already prepared-to-react swat team, with their already raised barrels, would open fire on you.
As for me, I'll just reinforce my door and frame with metal and get a home camera system. If a swat team comes knocking, it'll buy enough time for me to turn on the intercom and ask for both the warrant and affidavit that they are required to have on hand.
Homeboy here probably wouldn't, but this is Missouri. Cops getting shot/shooting someone who shot at them because they're dumb as fuck and don't announce who they are is not an altogether uncommon occurrence here. There's a reason STL (at least ostensibly) banned no-knocks.
It's on my desk 24/7, locked and loaded. And no, I might not get a single shot off. I understand this. I'm also willing to die if my door explodes without warning.
I am old enough to give my life. This is a whole 'nother thought process from being young. I will not allow fascists to take over my country.
You have a better plan? Sounds like you do, and I like it! Thought the same, can't afford it ATM. How many of us can?

You're a shitty gun-owner. Also negligent. Store your firearms in a safe.
That's not necessary if there's no one else in the house and you're at home. Heck, when I was a kid people left rifles in display cases in their front room, with children around, and nothing bad came of it. It's a different world now, with different requirements, but locking your gun in a safe when you're home alone is not one of them.

Congratulations! You won the prize of becoming a statistic! You win a news article about your death and an expensive funeral.
Yep. I would surely die. I get that. But I'm not having my home invaded without fighting back. And the life insurance, cremation, etc., is already planned.
You plan to lie down when the fascists come knocking? Meekly go on the train? Because we're there. That's your choice.

No, we just choose plans of action that don't amount to suicide and may actually change things...
Adding your body to the pile isn't helping or changing anything. There are much smarter choices you could be making instead. I don't see how how living to see another day is any more "meek" than willingly jumping under the boot and dying fruitlessly because you somehow think it's the only way to fight back.
Ok grandpa

Do you just sit at your door with a gun in hand all day? You don't think you might be, idk... taking a shit at the time? Or cooking dinner? Or showering? Or sleeping? Or any of the million other things people do at home? If you're showering with your gun then I'm sad for how much fear you're living your life with.

If even Vincent fell victim to this, then there's no chance for OP.
