I don't care if it's post hurricane, earthquake, or what. If I see somebody pointing a rifle my way, the very least that will happen is that the police will be called.

While we are on the high horse, my binoculars are stored with my rifles, so I'd personally have no excuse for NOT having them. Since you are describing a home defense in time of disaster scenario, you would in theory be home. Ergo, you should have your binoculars or other scope.

All you are doing by forcing this scenario is trying to justify legally and morally irresponsible behavior, in a public forum.
