From the article:
Police said that people in the crowd yelled threats at the couple and that the McCloskeys would not be charged.
According to the NRA, 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.
Exhibiting a weapon in this way would likely be a Class D felony punishable by up to four years in prison and a fine not to exceed $5,000.
According to the St. Louis American, however, the 'Castle Doctrine' allows people to use deadly force to attack an intruder on their property.
So if they aren't being charged, how exactly do the police have the right to seize their firearm?
That just means that they can buy more
So in theory... They could have opened fire at will on the entire crowd due to 'castle doctrine'
Leftards don't even realize how good they have it, someday they'll figure that out, the day they'll lose everything they have, that day they'll realize the value of what they had
I don't think castle doctrine applies like that unless they are inside the house. If they are only on your property you may have a duty to retreat.
I'm sure the dumbfucks would have started to follow them in the house almost right away if they had retreaded, they would probably have started to invade thinking they "scared the richs"
It's one or 2 daring, then a third following, then almost right away it's a pack of ten and then it's the entire herd
And before they realize their fatal mistake it's too late, it's a crowd, the individual tends to follow the general movement whatever that is, partly for lack of better visibility but not only. Individuality/self tends to vanish in a crowd/group, and often individual reason/critical thinking vanishes too. it's almost as if we were hard wired to switch into mob drones given the right conditions
So they were acting in clear cut self defense by responding to violent threats being made against them? Weird that they still figured out a way to steal the couple's gun though.
I'm struggling to find the legal justification.
Potentially trespassing, while yelling threats at the couple. If someone threatens you with violence, a person has a basic human right to threaten them not to act on tbe threat in any way. E.g. "bitch, I'm beat yo white ass" followed by <draws gun> "if you step onto my property I am going to shoot you."
