@BillRM,
Well...if a person is known to own a lot of guns...and a warrant has to be served...and if there is the possibility of danger and loss of life in trying to serve a warrant...
...I think it proper to resort to a more aggressive approach by the serving authorities.
The individuals inside the house can simply come out in a way to show they are not a threat to the serving officers...
...or do what the people in Waco did.
I can tell you this...from the sounds of some of you folk defending the unbridled right to gun ownership, if the question of serving a warrant on any of you comes up, I hope the serving officials take extreme care...including taking defensive positions and demanding that you come out to accept the warrant and to peacefully allow the warrant to be enforced.
To do otherwise would be nuts.
