how many were arrested for criminal trespass?

They had every right to defend themselves and their property. They also obviously had zero clue about handling firearms. They covered each other several times within just a couple of minutes. Their lack of education and lack of training showed they are not exactly responsible gun owners.

They wouldn't be in this situation if they had used more defensive tactics - that is, kept their weapons in a ready position and stayed put close to the front door, or maybe at the house corners, while issuing short, loud commands for the criminals to leave the property. They should not have engaged unless there was an imminent and specific threat.

Instead they were wandering around out in the yard and yelling arguments back-and-fourth at the crowd while waving their firearms around.

I'm sure they'll be able to articulate in court that they believed they were in danger, and I'm about 95% sure they'll be found not guilty. And they should be found not guilty. But I also believe they brought this on themselves because they did not handle the situation correctly at all.

They were not protecting anything, and she pointed her pistol at people with her finger on the trigger. And he should be charged with wearing a pink polo shirt.

I agree with this. Especially, the lady was mishandling the pistol. Several times she swept it behind her husbands head. She should have kept the pistol downward like he did with the rifle. I too think they’ll be able to prove their right to protect, but this may not have gone this far had they shown better weapon handling.

If you break down the gate to my house. You better be ready to meet your maker. I'm not a trained marksman or fighter. Just an average joe with gun that goes BOOM. You're a bunch of idiots if you think the home owners were at fault.

That's not what I was saying.

I don't think they're at fault for the incident, and you'll note I called the crowd "criminals". But their lack of training and education about firearms caused them to take certain actions that led to charges against them.

They could have taken very similar but less overtly aggressive actions, been in a better position to defend themselves, and had no charges.

Well, I understand they are actually liberals. They must be somewhat confused liberals given that they apparently concluded that having firearms for personal protection was a good idea. With little firearms knowledge, you get what you get. I admit they didn't have the look of experienced firearms handlers, and that doesn't do our cause any good. He's an attorney; you'd think he would have at least read the code on it.

I would have just waited inside and shot them dead if they came in actually.....in Texas....don't know Missouri law and that it was a search warrant rather than arrest warrant is odd....I don't care enough to go look.
