FAIRCHILD, Circuit Judge
(concurring) .
The facts listed in the opinion suggests that violence was no stranger to the Gamble household. Nevertheless, on this record, I can join in the majority’s skepticism that the police intrusion into Gamble’s other rooms was solely a response to reasonably based concern lest other persons be present and endanger the officers. It would seem to me, however, that in a case where there was a reasonable basis for such concern, an appropriate, non-excessive, response by the officers would be recognized as an exception to the grabbing distance radius indicated in Chimel, 395 U.S. at p. 763, 89 S.Ct. 2034.
