Pretty interesting article, discuss!

Governor Mitch Daniels, a Republican, has authorized changes to a 2006 legislation that legalizes the use of deadly force on a public servant — including an officer of the law — in cases of “unlawful intrusion.” Proponents of both the Second and Fourth Amendments — those that allow for the ownership of firearms and the security against unlawful searches, respectively — are celebrating the update by saying it ensures that residents are protected from authorities that abuse the powers of the badge.

1 year later.. And it's dumb because this law only applies in VERY rare and narrow circumstances (read: "unlawful" entry).

Indeed. All they have to say is they *Thought* they smelled marijuana and they have 'legal' right to enter the home.
