In that case! NEVER PULL A GUN UNLESS YOU CAN AND WILL FIRE IT!
Like the samuri. When the gun comes out, so does the fire. No warning.
Let things escalate until you have reasonable fear. Do what you can fully peacfully and without show or threat of force. If the bad guys choose to act, what choice do you have?
There are laws and cases that discourage a show of capability.

I totally agree. I don’t know what I would have done in that situation. Do you? I feel like I don’t have all the details. Like the gate was broken, but was their front yard open to the street/sidewalk? It looked that way. I know that’s normal for many houses. I’m just trying to wrap my head around it. I know they felt threatened.. but I just don’t think I would have stood out there with a fake gun, and an AR15, you know?? I just don’t know how violent the crowd was. Did they have surveillance cameras that captured everything? I have stone walls all around my house, so I can’t relate and I live isolated.
I know they have every right to defend their property and their lives.. but yeah, don’t point a Wild Bill Cody fake fake replica. That’s just dumb- I’m not saying it was that fake replica, but I think it was similar.. it might even have been a cig lighter gun.
Feel free to educate me or set me straight. I feel like I’m missing pieces.
