    I should have said he came towards/covered the door/entryway. He was not shot in the same room his wife was hiding in, according to her.

    Again, I think the outcome would have been the same with any gun. Answering a knock at the door with a concealed handgun is quite different from allegedly pointing a gun at SWAT after the siren, knocking, and "sheriffs department-search warrant".

    I heard what happened to him. It was a HUGE, agency-ending level **** up. He didn't do anything wrong.

    I would have been found dead with my rifle too. They executed him in his own home...the WRONG home.

    That was a Kobayashi Maru.

    Correct, but the fact that you can answer the door with the handgun concealed in the first place gives it a huge advantage over the AR.

    Yes, i agree that a long gun is going to be more effective ballistically and maybe thats what this is about. I like to mentally train myself that the handgun will be my primary(since it would be most likely what i'll have) home defense weapon and if i can get to my rifle, well that would be a bonus.

    ETA: Thanks for the link: What a horrible case and screw up by the Sheriff's department.
