The Right to Self Defense

You are right. The Supreme Court should intervene right away and to hell with it trickling through the courts.
The good news is that the States AG is trying to have the case dismissed.
The bad news is that the Governor says he will pardon them. Fool...they haven't brokena single law and have no need for a stinkin' pardon.
The good news is that the people can still vote the political Soros backed St. Louis Circus Attorney out of office.

I totally agree with you.

Not very resposable gun ownership, finger on the trigger pointing them at people. Thug life

Was anyone shot?

I'll help you...NO.
Smug bastard

Finger on trigger while pointing at trespassers is not illegal dumb ass! lol

Furthermore, the "protestors" were trespassing on the McCloskey's property

Nope. Private property belonging to the residents of the community.

Don't be silly. You only saw a few second clip of a 15 minute event. They were most definitely in fear for their lives and were threatened with death.

They weren't in "public". They were on their own property, defending themselves against a riotous mob that threatened to kill them, their dog and to occupy their home. Some individuals were even pointing to different Windows and telling the McCloskey's which rooms that they would take.
No "fine line" was crossed by the McCloskey's, but a broad line(fence and gate) was crossed by the "peaceful protestors" when they TRESPASSED on to private friggin property.
BTW...how does one defend one's self with a gun without "brandishing" it. For it to have any effect in staving off a mob, it has to be seen by said mob.
