Seeing this news article reminded me that it has been a while since I posted my rules for federal agents who might wish to speak with me for whatever reason. These rules are to help insure your safety and prevent any misunderstandings or unnecessary hostilities.

1. Please approach my house during daylight hours only. (08:00 to 18:00).

2. Please approach the front door only.

3. Please prove your identity by having a local police officer in a marked vehicle accompany you and park in front of my house.

4. Please do not attempt to enter the house until you have received permission.

My Rules of Engagement:

1. No warning shots. - Wastes ammunition.

2. Anyone inside my locked, 8 foot fenced, backyard is hostile.

3. Anyone representing an impending threat to my family or me will be neutralized.

4. A wounded opponent is still a threat.

5. Head shots trump body armor.
