Yup, I get what prompted the visit and pressure from the cops (probably not a raid, unless they kicked down the door, but certainly aggressive)... All the cops had was the optics -- kid + gun, let's go harass the family because we don't like it/we got a complaint.

Again, I think this situation is crappy and the homeowner did well. And all I was trying to point at was that this is a case where you can easily empathize with the family -- and that can be a useful window into other situations where people are profiled and pressured to submit to searches/etc for other reasons. I'm just hoping this case makes people think a bit more broadly about defending not just their own freedoms, but ALSO those of people who are really different than themselves...
