What would happen if I opened the door with no clothes on? That could be pretty menacing too. What a fucked up world we live in.

" Chapman said he kept the gun pointed down when he told the Pikes Peak Regional Building Department inspector to leave. The inspector claims Chapman pointed the gun at his chest." Misleading headline is misleading.

Huge difference between "answering the door with a gun" and "pointing it at someone's chest".
That being said. I automatically assume that the local.gov official here is a lying sack of crap. Chances are he is a panty waist liberal who was so scared by seeing a pistol, and knew that answering to door with it is not a crime, so a simple lie gets him the results (and "victim" status) that he wants... and everyone else will think twice before messing with a local "G-man". |

Since when can a building inspector, or any other government employee, just walk into your house to "do an inspection" or anything else? Bang away, idiot, you should be charged with harassment at the least.

Also, govt goons shouldn't be able to cross your property line without prior written approval. My guess is that the govt douche pounded on the door, guy wakes up, answers it....has pistol in his right hand pointed at the floor. Goon says "I'm inspecting your property." Homeowner says GTFO. Goon gets pussy hurt because he got booted from the property. Files complaint because asshole. Which is why I always keep the pistol out of sight. |

The building inspector said that the homeowner pointed the gun at his chest...it would be interesting if there was a video showing the home owned did no such thing. If that were the case, the inspector could be charged with filing a false report.
I have found that 98% of the time, whenever someone unexpected shows up at my front door, it is NOT for my benefit. Having learned that from all my previous interactions at the front door, I almost never answer the front door to unexpected people. It seems that unexpected people want to sell me something (they want my money), they are a political group (I'm not interested), they want me to donate (they want my money), convert me to their religion (I'm not interested), or join their cause (I'm not interested, AND they want my money). Seems to be two major outcomes...they want my money, or I'm not interested. |
