Honestly, yea. Or a police officer in a bunch of gear. Or hell if it’s the states or Canada they don’t even need that much gear.
I know what a masked killer is planning to do and no one would be too upset with me for protecting myself.
If a cop shows up and starts to get pissy because I’m not making him feel like a good special wittle baby boy then I could end up seriously injured or dead while an astonishing number of people many of whom aren’t cops or related in any way to cops desperately try to make sure I’m blamed for the incident. And all that because they got the wrong address, didn’t announce themselves, and got mad when I asked them what the fuck they were doing in my fuckin’ house.
Oh, they could also just be a conservative, those dipshits and their worthless, proven-a-million-times-to-be-awful policies do way more damage than some amateur serial killer could ever hope for.
