    Funny, that first statute defeats the purpose of defending home and hearth, but I see that is clarified in the second statute you cited. SO, not only were no laws broken, there is a law that COVERS what they did.

    The article that I read (not me) cited the NRA-ILA source that I linked to as the reason. I totally agree with you.

    Don't live next door to a Mayor .

    *******************

    But seriously , sucks to be them right now , through no fault of their own they became the lighting rod of the moment for the idiots .

    They don't live anywhere near the mayor.

    It is not physically possible to get to the mayor's house by walking through the McClosky's gated neighborhood.

    You have fallen for the lies being spread in the left-wing media.


    That mob was deliberately led to that gated community by the mob organisers, specifically with the hope of provoking a sensational news story of some sort.

    They were not marching to the mayor's house.

    The wife is a lawyer? She should know better than to wave a pistol at peaceful protestors. Guess when all you do is personal injury law you forget what behavior constitutes the elements of the crime of assault by pointing. Now she knows.

    I hope there is sarcasm there. The peaceful protesters were an angry mob who broke an iron fence to threaten their property, pets and persons. We can argue the wisdom of pointing a gun at someone with your finger on the trigger, but this was a very appropriate time for one to have a firearm in hand.

    They weren't peaceful protesters. As I read the Missouri law, the McCloskys were within their rights.

    These things are supposed to be decided in court. In normal times, it would never get that far.

    Not to pile on, but the only thing I would recommend to her is get plenty of training(the both of them) so they know local firearms law and be able to employ their arms in a safe and proper manner.


    I'm assuming they, like many others around the world, have only recently realized the need to take their personal security into their own hands.

    According to Fox News the "firearms" were not loaded at the time of the incident and the wife's wasn't real.
