Point of order, you will be accused posthumously of shooting a federal officer. You will not survive the exchange.

    That's not always true. Cops are notoriously bad shots and these ice agents are no better.

    Just remember that most walls in modern american homes are made of nothing much stronger than plywood. In any situation you should return fire from good cover to try and avoid becoming a body.

    There is no safe place to hide in a modern american home. The 2 most common rounds 9mm and NATO 5.56 will easily go through 5 or 6 layers of sheetrock or a piece of plywood and keep on going.

    Do you want to risk it when you're a father and want your kids to grow up with a dad? Or do you want to risk a stray bullet hitting a neighbor? Or do you want to just get arrested and probably released at some point with a really good case against the government that didn't uphold the constitution?

    I mean, you can weigh the pros and the cons yourself.
