Probably would get bad media coverage. May not be good in subdivisions. YMMV.

A couple brandished an AR-15 and a handgun at protesters marching past their mansion in an upscale St. Louis neighborhood. Husband and wife, Mark and Patricia McCloskey could be seen aiming the guns at demonstrators who walked by their palatial property in the wealthy Forest Park area at around 6pm on Sunday.
At one point, the pair seemed to be unknowingly pointing their weapons at one another other while trying to keep protesters away from their home - dubbed the Niemann Mansion. The protesters were en route to Mayor Lyda Krewson's home to demand her resignation after she released the names and addresses of residents who had suggested defunding the police department. The pair are both personal injury lawyers and run McCloskey Law Center from inside their extravagant home.
Mr McCloskey is representing a victim of police brutality. The man - who was identified by the initials I.F. - was kicked and struck by police officer David Maas in shocking dashcam footage. The initials match a 2019 civil lawsuit made by Isaiah Forman in which the same allegations are put forward. Forman pleaded guilty to crashing his car into a police vehicle during the chase and is serving a seven year sentence. Maas was charged with one count of deprivation of rights under color of law.

Most all lawyers are Democrats.
Democrats are all about more laws, more complicated laws, more regulations (all written by lawyers), more lawsuits...the Democrat Party is a lawyers’ jobs program.
Good on the McCloskys for protecting their property.
Patty McClosky needs to take a course in proper firearm control.
She should have gone down to Eminence this weekend where all the good ole boys were protecting the courthouse.
Excellent technique.
Well, technically, plunging fire is not as effect nor does it create as wide and deep a beaten zone as grazing fire. When confronted with 50+ threats, the widest most likely to hit method of fire is going to be desired. Of course, we are talking the need for a FPF ( final protective fire) situation wherein your weapons are expected/needed to be going cyclic, not semi-auto/sustained or rapid fire ( sustained for the M16 family is 15 rnds per minute, rapid is 60 rnds per minute and of course, unless you possess one with a happy switch, then that’s 550-650 RPM.).
As to protection, your are correct, getting behind cover ( stuff that stops bullets) is preferred. Putting on Level 3 armor ( available for the price of a weekend at the lake) is smart.
Confronting a crowd at CQ distance in a hubby/wifey team is not a good prospect, as once the situation devolves into chaos, you’ll be quickly overwhelmed and killed by blunt force trauma. Even if you get off 20 shots, they’ll still win.
I applaud their pluck, but they need to pay for some serious training, or as a pair of lawyers, hire some.
No Trespassing unless you feel real lucky.

Which is my point. The title of the video is an out and out falsehood.
Should have said “legally armed homeowners legally protect their property from antifa criminals”
I’m betting these two are liberals who have supported Black Lies Matter when they were rioting in someone else’s neighborhood.
nice.
Daily Mail is run by poofters.
Jeezzz! Look how close those trespassers are to that woman!
The trespassers break the gate, enter their property (their property includes their front lawn) and then whine: Oh noes! they scared us with those mean guns :(
They are lucky they are still alive.
How come the ‘peaceful protesters’ are not being arrested for breaking and entering? What about damages?
If the walls or gate to a gated community gets breached, sirens should go off at every house; and each house should have CCTV to determine the threat. Upon determining the threat is legitimate, any owner should be able to engage the loudspeakers warning intruders over and over to leave now and do not approach any house, building or facility—all homeowners are fully armed, and cameras are trained in every direction. Leave now to avoid felony prosecution, or lose your life.
Yep.
One behind ground cover giving warning, one at an upstairs window behind heavy cover?
A couple skulls expelling brain matter rearward will likely cause many other attackers to back off.
