Discuss: Brandishing a Gun in a Gated Community
This is very interesting. This is either a gated community or an estate. Is the wife going to get in trouble for brandishing a weapon? I don’t know the law. What would you do?
Further context shows that the protesters were trespassing on a private street when the St. Louis couple pulled out their guns to defend their home

All of those prominent Never Trump guys associate with him.

And now it works for me. I love the Internet.
You don’t think there house does not have cameras everywhere? Or this neighborhood? See any pics? Having video and getting it out there are two different things.
Right. So it makes no kind of sense for the reds to start whining about how they didn’t follow the exact jot and tittle of the law in exercising a natural right to protect their home.
I understand the protestors were on their way to the mayor’s house (I guess the mayor lives in the neighborhood?) after the mayor had publicized the names of people who supported defunding the police. It seems entirely reasonable to assume that such a mob did not have peaceful intent.
Yeah… and some of us are doing it in this very thread!
This was regular order / normal procedure by the way, not some new doxxing policy to get BLM.
I just wouldn’t count on there being security cameras everywhere, or that they are pointed in the direction that matters when the fun starts. I don’t have any security cameras. Plus, if you don’t own the cameras, you don’t own the video. I agree getting it out is a different thing, but you can’t get it out if you don’t have it or aren’t authorized to release it.
You guys are all smarter than me, so have at it. lol Dana Loesch was saying they were actually known for taking on civil rights cases with the police.
This is her Twitter bio.
Which mayor had a rainbow flag and BLM sign on her porch and still got a brick through the window?
Very good long interview of the homeowner. He’s not apologetic. He characterized it as “terror”.

Well this is quite a letter.
It showed up on Twitchy about an hour ago that the Police in St Louis are considering the incident ‘fourth-degree assault by intimidation’ …by the protesters. The circuit attorney may have her head up her rear on this one, but it looks like the police don’t.
The entire point of the mob, the chanting, the signs is to intimidate. To scare you.
Well, if you scare people they may respond with violence.
He’s 404 ed.
He deleted it after almost 100 retweets. He’s a grifter off of Pierre Omidayar, like all of those never Trump guys.
This is what Jerry Taylor said:
Possible, though I don’t see a lot of steel mags out there. I also don’t see a ton of ARs out there with those old school butt stocks. The only people I know who want them are the nostalgic. Again, hard saying either way.
As I and several other people have pointed out, the woman had no business carrying a handgun. She is obviously untrained.
I wonder if it was loaded. It looks about the right size to fit in her purse for those “just in case” scenarios in parking lots late at night. Maybe she bought it to scare rather than use.
When confronted by a threatening mob trespassing on her property, she had every business, regardless of training. She should have received training, but having a gun might very well have been a new thing for her.
There’s no such thing as an unloaded weapon.
Regarding self-defense and self-defense for beginners I thought this was pretty interesting.
As Jose noted above, the lady needs to get her finger off the trigger until she’s ready to shoot. And since she’s pointing in one direction and looking in another, I’m going to guess she’s not really on her target.
Given that we’ve just seen a record number of gun sales, many of them in areas that are far more blue than red, I think we have to assume that we have a moiety of gun owners out there who are in need of competent instruction. I’m all in favor of leftists owning guns. I think it might help them grow up. But selling them guns without providing instruction is kind of like passing out circle saws to gradeschool kids: someone’s likely to get hurt.
Still, nice to see people standing up for themselves.
I believe that area has private security. It used to at any rate
He could have borrowed it from his crazy MAGA hat-wearing cousin. The cousin kept the one with the picatinny rail mounted laser sight and the collapsible stock.
Because I would.
Tucker Carlson just mentioned this tweet on his show. Of course nobody is going to ask Bill or Mona what the deal is.
