On private property, with warnings given, and a mob shrieking its intentions of mayhem?

************* Understanding Missouri's Castle Doctrine
.
On January 1, 2017, new rules for gun-owners in Missouri went into effect. One of the changes was the expansion of the state’s Castle Doctrine which created a stand-your-ground right.
The Castle Doctrine is a common law doctrine that allows residents to use deadly force against anyone, based on the notion that their home is "their castle."
Basically, if an intruder violates the sanctity of your home, and you believe they intend to do you harm, you should be able to protect yourself or others against an attack.
According to Findlaw.com, Missouri's law is more extensive than those of other states because it allows you to use deadly force to attack an intruder to protect any private property that you own, in addition to yourself or another individual.
This means that if someone illegally enters your front porch or backyard, you can use deadly force against them without retreating first.
More specifically, a person does not have a duty to retreat.
