I can't say that I'm "enraged" but I am "outraged".

But I'm not surprised either. I was wondering how long it would take before some police agency took information out of context, decided a legitimate gun owner was dangerous and pulled a raid. At least there was no shooting involved in this one.

I dare say that had this been a major metro city like LA, Chicago or Philly, it's much more likely that the raid would have involved an immediate dynamic entry and a high potential for a shooting.

Yet another good example of why police need much more oversight in the use of SWAT teams. I'll eagerly await some enlightenment from the LEO side too.
