So are they. With surprise on their side, not to mention flash-bangs.

Door Kick = bad things for the kicker.

Unfortunately, due to the layout of my house, I cannot take a defensive position. When my dog, er alarm, goes off, I will be forced to advance my position in order to protect the younger members of my family. Rest assured I will drop hammer on anyone in my sight picture. Like most others, there is no reason AT ALL that LE would be making a dynamic entry to my house.

With the apartment setup, when they enter the front door, I would almost be behind them. I would grab her and slide off my side of the bed, then point and wait, hopefully they just leave. If not and the bedroom door opens, pull trigger til it goes click.

If the say police, I would not change anything. They could have knocked like my friends do.

Surprise could also be on my side.

I did install the exterior doors on my home. Better bring a BIG door knocker for that dynamic entry.
Plus the storm windows are a little tougher than they look at first glance too. Probably be surprised when the flash bangs bounce back.

I like that. Need to upgrade my own doors/windows anyway.

I introduce myself to the SWAT team.

Steel doors and steel frames with Medeco locks. Only the SWAT team can get my doors down.

always prepair or pay the price, high quality locks and doors for a start, mean *** 65 pound amstaf to gnaw on dumbass kicking in door and many ways to stop intruder from protected bedroom. considering I and wife dont even speed or not wear seat belts there would be no need for no knock by police. and im sorry but if they have wrong house then those that are left breathing can call it a learning example of knowing your target...

Have a great layout at my house, 3 doorways in, 2 of the 3 have heavy duty extra thick sound proofing glass with locked storm doors, all entry doors have multi point locking systems. So after some serious beating I'll be waiting at the end of a 30 foot hallway that has a motion sensor light to blind any intruders while I'm in a defensive position with a 1911 in hand, wife around the corner in the tub with the shotgun with orders to blast away if no answer from me.

For those guys that shoot first, what if it is the fire department? Your house or apt is on fire, you hear them knock down your door. You are woken up to the loud crash of them coming through your door. You are dazed from being suddenly awoke. Tired, dazed and confused; you start blasting the firemen? OR what if you kids hear the noise and run out into the hallway to see what it was. You could have talked to your kids about this and told them to stay in thier rooms, but kids getting woken up by this would also be dazed and confused and prolly come running to mommy and daddy's room. BOOM! BOOM! It was just the scared kids coming into your room... I'd put a little more thought into it.
