St Louis McCloskey Home protection
 
Thank goodness , the Governor of Missouri Mike Parson says he will Pardon the McCloskeys for protecting their home. St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner has charged them with illegal use of guns against the "innocent protestors" that broke into their community. MS Gardner claims she doesn't have time to process charges against murderers but couldn't resist charging this couple.

When we took our Gun safety classes I forget which day they showed us the stance that the nice lady took. You know the one with the hand on her hip. I give them a lot of credit for standing up for themselves. Agree with them or not it took guts.

Let's give it some time and see how this works out.

What were they suppose to do? Let the terrorists group destroy their property or worse? Watch out they are coming for our guns next. Too dangerous for us to protect ourselves.

Not wave their guns.


I agree they have a right to guns and to protect. I hope the charges are dropped.

Here in FL.....

Florida Law on Self-Defense | Use of Deadly and Non Deadly Force

We know that legally trained or counseled politicians are masters at using, abusing or hiding behind the law.....which ever suites their case or agenda!!

The only issue I found unnecessary was when Mrs. McCloskey appeared to have muzzle swept the protestors. That being stated, no shots were fired and no one was hurt.

The DA is wrong to file charges.

If a fund is set up to pay for their defense would be happy to contribute

It's doubtful that they need any funds. I read that they are both personal injury attorneys.

True but you know the old saying when lawyers represent themselves.

Good for them hopefully they get off without even needing the governors help.

That’s why it’s good to have special insurance in case you have to defend yourself.

Carrying Law of the state of Missouri....

State law does not prohibit the open carrying of firearms, but does prohibit exhibiting “any weapon readily capable of lethal use” in an angry or threatening manner in the presence of one or more persons. Mo. Rev. Stat. § 571.030.1(4).
