uh...perhaps you aren't familiar with the current law enforcement
policies and the procedures employed in responding to "domestic
violence" complaints. it's all tactical, storm trooper stuff nowadays...

Oh, Lord, not another extreme...no, it isn't "all tactical, storm
trooper stuff nowadays..." but the Weaver/Ruby Ridge situation involved
people who had pulled guns on LE before (including the wife), had a
stockpile of guns and ammo, and the primary thing that started it all
was Weaver's ready agreement to sell shortened shotguns (regardless of
them being slightly over or under 18" barrels) to urban gang members so
as to encourage them to kill each other. This wasn't Mrs. Campbell
calling Andy because Otis was likkered-up and, um, "frisky." IAC, as
I'm sure you well know, LEOs hate domestic calls more than any other,
but with the very good reason that they are the most dangerous overall
category of call the average LEO ever faces.
