Related: About this forumIndiana legalizes shooting cops?
In Indiana it has become legal to shoot a police officer if they unlawfully enter one's home. The controversial gun law is the first of its kind in the United States and has many law enforcement officials unhappy with the recent ruling. The National Rifle Association was a strong supporter of the so-called Castle Doctrine recently passed in Indiana, but could we expect to see an increase in these types of incidents? Mark Walters, host of Armed America Radio, joins us for more.

As the cops love to say, if you're not doing anything wrong, then you've got nothing to be afraid of.
