13. It's a good thing I don't live in Oklahoma

I hear it's a rather violent place, which means I'd probably have firearms with armor-piercing ammunition (if I could get it) in the house. I don't keep them where I live now, but I know how to use them. If a bunch of armed thugs burst into my home with no valid documents or verifiable ID, I'd keep firing until I was out of ammo. I'd assume they were the "finance division" of some visiting crime cartel, especially in the face of no solid evidence to the contrary. It would not end well.

There have been instances where "law enforcement" has burst into the wrong address, the occupants defended themselves, not knowing who their assailants were, and were exonerated, even though at least one of the invaders died in the defenders' fire.
