Coming soon to a home near you. A Missouri mob of looters/protestors was very lucky not to be legally shot as a well-armed couple defend their home from the mob that broke through their perimeter gate. Video shows the armed couple facing down the mob.
The important aspect is here the mob was not on a public street; the mob represented a clear threat; and Missouri has strong Castle Doctrine laws that do not require a duty of the homeowner to retreat from the threat. This mob was very fortunate the couple were well disciplined in their use of firearms. Once the mob broke through the gate, they were effectively in the justifiable kill zone.
Missouris 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. (link)

Video uploaded to Twitter shows the St. Louis mob unlawfully entering the private property of the homeowners. Both the gate and the driveway are clearly identified as private property. This is not public property.
This is also a powder-keg issue and if local and state officials do not take action it is only a matter of time before these types of events lead to shooting. This is also why the DOJ needs to step-in quickly and begin making arrests of the anarchists and provocateurs who are violating laws and threatening ordinary citizens.
The Democrats are perfectly comfortable stoking the national anxiety and putting a few of their easily led sheep into the kill zone to accomplish their political objectives.
The right to self defense was not given by the state, and cannot be taken away by the state. It supersedes all other laws and remains in force even if specifically outlawed by the state, which then acquires complete responsibility for any and all actions that ensue.
(No, it’s not in any law book.)
used to be, a graduating college student became a conservative after the first paycheck at a real job. Now it is when your business is looted or your home sacked. If you survive.
And this is a problem, why?
The homeowners were justified if the proper authorities are unwilling to protect them.
“One story said the rioters were passing by but this one said they broke through the gate. Well, which is it mediots?”
The gate referred to was probably the entrance to the community.
The well-equipped woman prefers to co-ordinate, of course.
I don’t have the training of LEOs either, but, I know about trigger finger and muzzle discipline. I could see this couple getting indicted for brandishing, but, under the circumstances, I could also easily see them getting no-billed for it.
Saw that yesterday. This is a better copy. Yesterday I couldn’t see the small handgun the woman was waving around.
Brings to mind the 2012 Empire State shootings. NYPD shot a gunman and three bystanders at the Empire State Building. Three other bystanders were injured by bullet fragments.
If in fact the mob was on private property, then the mob, waived their rights to not be brandished.
Which is exactly what is wanted.

If worse comes to worse and you have to use deadly force to protect your life[[ Keep them from killing you] According to the Police, the Prosecutor, and the media it will not be a criminal, a terrorists that was trying to take your life that you shot. It will be a future brain surgeon, an aspiring rocket scientist, The Man/Woman of The Year, The Parent of The Year. You will be a serial killer who vilely, viciously, cold bloodily and with malice afore thought, murdered this outstanding citizen.
That is a nice thought but no....
They likely believe that the radicals are acting this way because they have been provoked by Trump and his racism. Orange Man Bad.
I think my USCCA attorney won't have a problem convincing a jury of my peers here in this VERY Republican County to find me "Not Guilty."
Probably the Very Republican Sheriff and Prosecutor wouldn't even bring it to trial.
None the less, I hope that you are not put to the test. It is kinda like when you race the train to the crossing. If it is a draw you still lose. That is also what the head Musketeer in Georgia thought [I got pull with the Prosecutor, I can do this and get away with it(chase a man down and kill him) In that, he was correct] Then the State of Georgia stepped in. As well as the Feds later on. Now he is sitting in the Gray Bar Hotel looking at more time than you can add up with an adding machine. But you are past the age of consent. You can do what floats your boat. The guy in Georgia mis read his hole card. It would not be wise or prudent to repeat his fate.
Remember...”I feared for my life. I want to speak to my attorney.”
The USCCA in my first call. Even before the Sheriff shows up.
I can’t “chase,” anyone anymore, so no chance of that happening.
It was antifa that was listed as a terrorist organization, not BLM.
I know its hard keeping all the commie / Marxist revolutionary groups straight.
Pick off a leader. The others will scatter and flee.
