Breathtaking stupidity. You already had remedies for unlawful entry. Now you friggin' wingers want to shoot cops? Really?

If it wasn't for uniform, we wouldn't be able to tell cops from normal street thugs anyway.. the police are the largest criminal Street gang in America and it is about time we are like to treat them that way!

Indiana doesn't have a homeowner problem or a gun problem, it has a judge problem. Fix the judge problem, and the other problems disappear.

wonder how many police would shoot another policeman or women , if they were just braking in to their house? in the middle of the night or day .do you think they would wait to see what w the commotion was about? I'll just bet there would be bullet holes in the door! any more if I have a problem with an ass hole cop I tell em to call for back up before I do anything. actually, I have a lot of respect or officers of the law. but, your the one that has to win my respect for you. just don't push the wrong button !

Anybody who enters my house illegally gets shot.

This gives people a legal justification if something goes wrong. It has happened before that police have entered the wrong house by mistake (illegally entry) and a law abiding citizen just knows that people with guns are attacking their home and defend their home and lives. Without this law the citizen could be prosecuted for shooting a police officer. In life mistakes and violations of the law have consequences, why should law enforcement be above that?

I totally agree with the passing of this law. Officers have left us to know that time and time again they feel that they are above the law and it's high time that we are able to protect ourselves and our family. If this law was passed federally, I think you would see a lot less police brutality. I think if an officer is beating on you then you should have the right to defend yourself. As it stands now, they can brutalize a citizen any way they want and if you fight back then you are charged with resisting arrest. It's not right and it has gone on far too long.

If police officers wouldnt violate are rights then we wouldnt be aloowed to shoot unwelcome guests

I want to buy a plane ticket and shake hands with the one(s) who passed this law. It makes me truly happy that police officers who feel they are a higher being than non-police/non-military must obey the same laws they enforce. Those officers who obey the laws they enforce daily should not fear this law because they will have nothing to worry about by obeying the law. I have been victimized at gunpoint by a rogue officer who just walked in my home without knocking or a warrant. When I asked him for his ID he flashed his firearm and asked me if this was good enough. I hope this law passes in Oklahoma next. They need it more than many realize. If I had a firearm when that officer let himself into my home and brandished a firearm while badgering me and refusing to properly identify himself, there would legally be one less police officer in that town. That officer got little more than a slight slap on the wrist by the chief, and he was not even suspended for it. I feel that this law will remind officers why they should maintain true integrity on the job and off.

An illegal entry is just that. A criminal entry. It should be treated as such. Professionals should be capable of acting professional.
