    Even if you are in imminent danger, maybe don’t shoot through a door to the outside? Responsible gun owners should be aware of the target and what’s beyond it. That’s really hard to do if there’s a door between you. She could have missed the person pounding the door and hit a kid or something.

      My point is that it’s not imminent danger when there’s a hard barrier between you and them.

      But yes, unlike cops, normal people are responsible for every single bullet that leaves their gun, regardless of their intentions.

        Well, not unless you’re pretty sure you’re the only bluefor and the building is swarming with opfor… at that point I would shoot through a door. But pretty much only then

          “Opfor” and “bluefor” isn’t a thing outside of military operations, and the military has entirely different rules of engagement than civilians do. I’m pretty sure that even cops intentionally firing blindly through a door are risking getting charged with murder.
