Seems to me if the reason was obvious it would be reported. Won't be the last one of these scenarios I'm sure.

At 5:17 am sure doesn’t sound right.

The element of surprise? I don't know for sure, but if someone started beating on my door at that early hour, I might arm myself before answering too. If I had any guns that is. I could show them a picture of the boat if they wanted though. I really can't remember thatmuch; it happened so long ago when they all went down...I barely had time to escape with my life. Good thing I can swim.

Pre-dawn raids are unfortunately still in favor with a lot of police agencies, regardless of how many people get killed in them.

Well, they're just criminals and other undesirables; who cares what happens to them?

i'm surprised we haven't had a 'well, if he had only listened to the officers he wouldn't be dead' comment yet.

Would like to know the "red flag" circumstances, and it being a temporary deal I wonder if the man was called and told to bring them in.
Don't know all the details but this sure seems like police state BS. If said man was not convicted of anything how can they take his guns?
Need the actual info as to why the police got this order.

At least he is no longer in any danger of doing potential harm to himself or others.

Maryland’s red flag law took effect October 1 and law enforcement predicts over 1,300 confiscation orders will be issued by the end of the year.

Whoa.....
