Indiana Court rules that defending your home against illegal police entry is illegal

At night, in a dark house, bleary eyed having been woken up by a loud noise, I doubt you'd notice uniforms. Just dark clothed intruders, in your dark house, with weapon mounted lights that only further trash your night vision and ability to identify who they are. If your already woken up, and assuming you've got your home defense piece, odds are your going to shoot if you can't ascertain their identity. I know i would based on that scenario alone.

I don't expect to hear, "Police!" and even if i did, id yell, "Show me some ID!", or "Prove it!" or something along those lines before id put my weapon down and step out of cover.

Odds are though, if its a raid, you won't have time for any of that. You just be rudley awaken to a flashlight and gun muzzle in your face.
