SWAT team invades elderly widow's home

IT'S 10 a.m. on a quiet Sunday morning in Oxford Circle. The coffee's making, the birds are chirping.

An elderly widow is in her bathroom, toweling off after a shower.

A four-member Philadelphia Police Department SWAT team arrives - clutching a search warrant for guns and drugs - and pounds on her Sylvester Street door.

A neighbor hollers to the cops they've got the wrong house. They tell her to shut up and go back inside.

Whenever I see this kind of case, I have to ask... exactly how much investigation was put into this search warrant?

I am not a lawyer, and nothing on this site should be construed as legal advice. I'm just a layman with an opinion.

The difference between gun control activists and gun rights activists is simple: gun rights advocates know what they are talking about, because they have depth of knowledge and expertise about firearms and pay attention to the issue. Gun control advocates, for the most part, don't know anything about guns, aren't interested in guns, and only pay attention to gun issues when the latest blood-dancing press release arrives. There's no sustainability.
