Oh please, you wouldn't have it out of the holster before the already prepared-to-react swat team, with their already raised barrels, would open fire on you.
As for me, I'll just reinforce my door and frame with metal and get a home camera system. If a swat team comes knocking, it'll buy enough time for me to turn on the intercom and ask for both the warrant and affidavit that they are required to have on hand.
Homeboy here probably wouldn't, but this is Missouri. Cops getting shot/shooting someone who shot at them because they're dumb as fuck and don't announce who they are is not an altogether uncommon occurrence here. There's a reason STL (at least ostensibly) banned no-knocks.
It's on my desk 24/7, locked and loaded. And no, I might not get a single shot off. I understand this. I'm also willing to die if my door explodes without warning.
I am old enough to give my life. This is a whole 'nother thought process from being young. I will not allow fascists to take over my country.
You have a better plan? Sounds like you do, and I like it! Thought the same, can't afford it ATM. How many of us can?

You're a shitty gun-owner. Also negligent. Store your firearms in a safe.
That's not necessary if there's no one else in the house and you're at home. Heck, when I was a kid people left rifles in display cases in their front room, with children around, and nothing bad came of it. It's a different world now, with different requirements, but locking your gun in a safe when you're home alone is not one of them.
