One where shooting through the door may be justified

As always, my disclaimer I am not a lawyer. As a general rule, don't shoot through the door. Quite often, some chest thumping idiot will tell you that if someone is banging on your door, trying to come in, just shoot through the door. That is terrible advice, since the prevailing opinion is that the guy outside hasn't breached your perimeter, he's technically not an imminent threat to you. By shooting through the door, you are the one breaching your perimeter, and therefore initiating the violence. It's very rare that I would come across a case that makes me go against this. This one, I think might just do it.

It's a message that screams, "Here is my machine gun I'm going to kill you with." I think that's a sufficient level of a threat to justify going through the door. Just make sure you have something that has the oomph to do that. I'm thinking this might be one for busting out with the AR-10 and a mag full of 150 grain 308 soft points. - I'll have to circle back on this one when Andrew Branca covers it.

Video copied, I'll likely cover this on Monday.
