Did St. Louis Couple Bluff Trespassers with Inoperable Guns? Why it Matters

U.S.A. –-(AmmoLand.com)- The pistol brandished on the McCloskey property in St. Louis appears to have been identified.

The ongoing saga of the McCloskey couple in St. Louis, and their ability to defend their home against a mob of hundreds of people who invaded their private, gated community, has taken some interesting turns.

It has been reported the radical St. Louis Circuit Attorney, Kim Gardner, has charged the couple with unlawful use of a weapon. Missouri has such a statute, as written about earlier on Ammoland.
The charge is controversial. Missouri has a very strong Castle Doctrine law, which gives considerable leeway, especially when people are on their private property.
