If you had a smoke condition in your kitchen and firefighters knocked on your door, would you let them enter your apartment to check out the problem? Here's a recent story about one apartment dweller who wouldn't.
When firefighters responded to reports of smoke from an Atlanta, Georgia apartment Tuesday morning, the tenant greeted them at the door with a shotgun, though he did not point it at the firefighters. Claiming everything was fine, the tenant insisted that the firefighters leave.
The firefighters left, but not after calling the police, who took the tenant into custody, according to The Atlanta-Journal Constitution. As for the fire, it reportedly was a small grease fire that was contained before it could cause any damage.
Do you think the tenant should have let the firefighters enter his apartment to make sure the fire was properly extinguished? Or was he well within his rights and exercised good judgment in preventing their entry? If so, should he have left the shotgun behind?
Where would you draw the line?

This incident really shows that the tenant is an innocent guy. But who knows he could be pretended like an innocent for some other purpose. I personally feel that he should have let the firefighters into his apartment in order accomplish their work.
