Anyone forcefully coming through my door will not like the outcome...

I like your avatar. I wonder, though, if it should not say something to the effect of "WARNING: Occupants are armed, law-abiding, peaceable citizens"

To me, "We're armed...please knock." sounds like "Go ahead... make my day."

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

As far as I know I haven't done anything that serious for the Police to come blasting through my door. BUT if for some odd reason I get mistaken for a terriost or someone on the top 10 most wanted, I would hope and pray that when they break down my door they are hollering as loud and as fast as they can "Police".
My apartment is very small so I only have roughly a few seconds before they could reach my room. So my plan would be if I hear my door come down and no verbal warning after bullets will start flying in that direction. Even if I hear warnings my Rear will still be in a spot to where I could identify who they are before they could see me and where I could get the first shot off if need be.

I'm with you brother!
Any idea if that avatar of yours is available in print anywhere? I would love to post a few around the house!

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.
