48. The fact that someone in the house may be armed...
does not justify emptying a magazine indiscriminately through a door into a room with six kids and an unarmed woman. That is felony aggravated assault and reckless endangerment by any standard, unless there is more to this than we're being told.

FWIW, ~40% of U.S. households contain guns. Meaning, that if the police show up at your house, from their perspective there is a ~40% chance that you have a gun. Would that make it OK for them to blindly shoot up your kids's room(s) and kill your spouse, just because they think you might have a gun and an officer panics?
