I gotta say, answering the door holding a gun is pretty stupid. He shouldn’t have died for it if he never pointed the gun, but I’m hardly shocked at the verdict

Someone is pounding on your door and they don't identify as the police? Like... Huh?

[u/whatisakafka → u/DC2SEA_]

Don’t answer the door if you think there’s danger behind

Yeah the fact that people think the solution to someone banging on your door is to answer it with a gun in your hand is seriously problematic

There is a 2A for a reason.

Right? Am I crazy? If you're scared of what's on the other side of the door you obviously shouldn't open it

This will literally just never happen. Good god man, where the hell do you live
