Sounds like his wife let them in, that is the biggest problem I see with this story. Never would have been a problem if the LEO was standing on the lawn twiddling their thumbs...
So, if/when this happens in Indiana, who is a good lawyer to call?
so who is the go to lawyer on INGO if this ever happens to one of us?

I went though this last year, except without the gun issue. Children Protective Services showed because my girlfriends x husband called them and claimed whe did <you fill in the blank>. I told the lady after I figured out what was going on that she had 10 seconds to leave my property before I called the Sheriffs office and had her removed and issued a no trespass order. She didnt head my warning so I did exactly what I said I would do and went into the house and grabbed my cel and called the Sheriff right in front of the CPS lady and told them there was a woman in my driveway that refused to leave my property after I asked her to. She left a few minutes later and 20mins later her and a deputy showed up. The deputy thought he was going to bully us into letting him and the CPS lady into our house. I told him 42 USC 1983 says he has to have a search warrant to enter my house and of course he claimed he didnt need one. I said if you enter my house without a search warrant that I will see him and the CPS lady in FEDERAL court and will then sue them in individually as well as their employers for violating my civil rights. I told him he had better call his watch commander before he gets himself into some serious legal issues. He did and after 5 mins on phone he came back to tell the CPS lady that they could not go into our house WITHOUT A SEARCH WARRANT. I then asked the deputy to tell that CPS lady that she had better not show up in my driveway again and consider this a no trespass warning for her. I also explained to the Deputy (he already knew it anyway) that CPS DO NOT have any authority over me or my family and have zero arresting powers. They cant even serve a warrant (the police has to do it for them). They left and I never heard from her again. I was polite but very adamant about my rights not being violated and if they were, the county, Sheriff Dept, invidual Deputy and CPS and CPS lady would have paid dearly for their violation of my family's civil rights.
People only have as much power as YOU GIVE THEM !

That's funny. I have all kinds of assurances that no one would ever "come to take ur guuuunnnnsss!!! derp derp derp!" Oh, and that all officials would refuse to execute such an unlawful order. Guess we can see what that assurance is worth.
