Second, you violated the law, sorry to say. Is this what the Corps teaches, fire through doors? What if the person knocking was someone whose car broke down, and the man with the gun was attacking him? In the fog of war, friendly fire incidents happen, they are unavoidable. In civilian situations, shooting through a door and hitting the wrong person is criminal negligence or felony manslaughter. If the door was not in the way, and you shot the man with the gun, even if the guy knocking was a partner chances are he would do nothing, being unarmed. He would be charged with hte murder of his partner, in what is called capitol or felony murder, being a death in the commission of a felony. It would take a lawyer to untangle that mess. a gun does not have to be fired to defuse a situation. One night my ex-wife and I were returning to our car after leaving a movie theater. we were approached by the young adult males with improvised weapons, a car radio antenna, a bicycle chain and a sawed off pool cue. They asked if I had some money I ‘could let them hold.’

I had drawn my 1911, holding it down along my leg. I got between my wife and the hoods and asked, “Now, we are not going to hurt one another, are we?” they suddenly remembered a previous engagement and vacated the scene. I got to a pay phone and notified my supervisor and the local PD. BTW, I was a deputy sheriff.

Way to go Marine! It is a shame that stories like this are swept under the rug by the MSM. If it ever gets like that here…game on. Good reporting Annie!
