The cops were responding to a call about a break-in and when they asked for someone to come to the door they showed up with a gun. The cops aren't going to sit there and wait for the person to start shooting at them. How disconnected do you have to be to think when the cops are banging on the door that it's a good idea to grab a gun and rock up to the door with absolutely no warning?
Did she at any point identify herself to the police? Did she yell out 'I'm the home owner and I have a gun'?
She might get a payout, but very unlikely that anything will happen to the cops given the situation.
The right to bear arms is a lot like the right to free speech. It protects your right to do it, it doesn't protect you from the consequences.
No, she did not defy the laws of time and space and announce that she had a gun or that she was a homeowner in the tiny space of time between getting off the couch and getting shot by police who tell her to drop the gun and don't give her the time to drop it.
it doesn’t protect you from the consequences.
Consequences like police telling you to drop a gun and then shooting you the second the last syllable enters their mouth? Because, again, I'm not sure why you're expecting her to defy the laws of time and space.
Also, why on Earth you think identifying yourself and saying you have a gun would help her when they didn't help Philando Castile, I don't know. Feel free to explain it. Because Castile said it in the middle of the day where the cops could clearly see what was going on and he was still murdered. Sorry, not murdered, treated fairly by the cops. His very fair treatment for complying with everything the police asked of him and telling them he had a gun.
Edit: Misremembered a detail.
The consequences, such as being executed by police for legally owning a gun

shes alive
Ahh, it was just an attempted execution. That's much better
they're not very good marksmen. i think although both officers reloaded, only managed to land one bullet in the victims leg.
it's embarrassing for the police for many reasons
5 bullets in her leg and abdomen
thanks for the research/assist
Makes you think, maybe if they'd dumped those mags at a range instead of into someone's home, they could use fewer bullets overall. Then again, if they were properly trained, they would have actually killed this woman.
What an awful situation, where it's literally better for officers to be worse marksmen
The cops aren't going to sit there and wait for the person to start shooting at them.
That's what they do in countries where non-criminals aren't afraid of the police, and they seem to do much better both in terms of staying safe and keeping the citizens safe.
