What would you do if you were soundly sleeping at home, with your pregnant girlfriend and your young children in the house, and then, just before 6 o'clock in the morning, your front door was violently forced open, and a bunch of shouting men waving guns burst in?
If you said "pick up your firearm and defend your family against a home invasion," you aren't alone.

What would you do if you were soundly sleeping at home, with your pregnant girlfriend and your young children in the house, and then, just before 6 o'clock in the morning, your front door was violently forced open, and a bunch of shouting men waving guns burst in?

If you said "pick up your firearm and defend your family against a home invasion," you aren't alone.

In a clear victory against the police state, a grand jury in central Texas refused to press capital murder charges against a homeowner who shot and killed a police officer after a SWAT team unexpectedly burst into his home to execute a no-knock raid. 

Henry Goedrich Magee believed he was the target of a home invasion (which, technically, he was). He responded like many of us would. Magee grabbed his gun (which he owns legally) and opened fire on the intruders. Burleson County Sgt. Adam Sowders, age 31, was killed.

The defendant's attorney, Dick DeGuerin, said that Magee acted in defense of his family. 

'This was a terrible tragedy that a deputy sheriff was killed, but Hank Magee believed that he and his pregnant girlfriend were being robbed,' DeGuerin said in an interview Thursday.

'He did what a lot of people would have done,' DeGuerin added. 'He defended himself and his girlfriend and his home.' (source)
