Harassed By The Government For Self Defense
Dear Editor,
I have raised the question several times as to what would happen to a home or business owner who was forced to defend themselves against BLM-backed rioters and anarchists when they move onto private property declaring their intentions to occupy, loot, burn and murder after law enforcement is ordered to stand down rather than being allowed to do their sworn duty. Well, now we know.
In St. Louis that exact scenario took place and at least one couple did take action to defend their home and lives which, despite the fact that they were backed by a castle doctrine law in the state, a liberal, leftist, socialist/communist, George Soros-backed circuit attorney with a history of putting politics over law is attempting to make an end run around not just state law, but the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner had a warrant taken out against Mark and Patricia McCloskey, the people that armed themselves after being threatened by a BLM-supported mob that had broken down a gate onto private property. Their actions were fully justified by Missouri castle doctrine. But since the CA (cowardly attorney or circuit attorney, your choice) knew she was on the wrong end of a baseless attempt to prosecute, she decided to instead harass them by ignoring their state and constitutional rights to possess and use firearms to defend themselves and their property from lawless animals. She went shopping until she found a likeminded liberal judge to sign a warrant and had their weapons illegally confiscated.
That they will get their guns back there’s no doubt, the question is when. And will this political CA and her pet judge be disbarred for abuse of power, violations of state and federal civil rights, and being just plain stupid. (Remember, ignorance can be cured, but stupid is forever.) My hope is there will be a civil suit filed against the CA and the judge for civil rights violation that will cost them so much their great-grandchildren will still be paying it off. Use RICO to include BLM.
In summary, this is what we can expect when we exercise our God-given rights as long as we are acting within the confines of written law. So if you find yourself having to defend yourself, you might, within the law, find it behooves you to allow your weapons to go missing afterwards.

Alan you know this is coming. Just remember this, wait to shoot after they are in your house rather than in the window because if they fall back outside, you will be charged with murder. (Unless of course you go out and drag them inside.)
I forget what verse of the Bible tells us we have the right to do own guns (and use them irresponsibly). Please, remind me?
Reverend, with all do respect, here’s one
Luke 22:35-37 “Then Jesus asked them, “When I sent you out to preach the Good News and you did not have money, a traveler’s bag, or an extra pair of sandals, did you need anything?” “No,” they replied. “But now,” he said, “take your money and a traveler’s bag. And if you don’t have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one! For the time has come for this prophecy about me to be fulfilled: ‘He was counted among the rebels. Yes, everything written about me by the prophets will come true.”
I can send you plenty more if you like.
And i never saud anything about using them irresponsibly. In fact, I have been instructing firearms use for quite a while.
And in your professional lessons, do you teach that it is safe and responsible to point a weapon at someone that you do not intend to shoot? At people walking on a street in front of your house not actually on your personal, private property? I get the sense you prefer to ask forgiveness after shooting rather than permission.
I believe the St. Louis story you referred to, the man involved states that his wife didn’t know anything about how to use a gun (or something to that effect). Is that a lesson you teach?
Swords are not guns. When the Bible was constructed, there was no concept of the mass destruction and ease with which humans could take another human’s life. Your argument here is the first step to justifying using bigger and larger weapons to get what you want because we aren’t, as a society, able to confront our differences and compromise.
Please remove the Rev. from in front of your name. You are a disgrace to the profession.
Now Wayne…let’s try to be the tolerant type they claim to be but aren’t
As long as this is a place for satire, parody, and conspiracy theories, I’ll continue to use the pseudonyms I choose. I’m guessing you didn’t get it, let me spell it out.
The Reverend Doctor Carlton Heston best known for acting I. The Ten Commandments then thinking guns could solve any problem.
What profession is that? Fiction Literature Promoter?
Alan, You’ve hit another home run. George Soros is a totally anti-American leech and parasite who has made a career out of wrecking monetary systems worldwide. His primary focus has been the Us and the UK. Somehow he must be stopped and the best way would be to deport him as an undesirable alien. That way, if he comes back he can be arrested and put in prison.
Alan ,you hit the nail on the head .Greensboro people ,do you see what happens to innocent people when your communities are led by Dems? Why don’t you all smell the roses and vote out ALL the Dems on city council and Mayor and get someone who cares about the growth of the city,Vote in some Republicans who can straighten out the Mess you are in .
POINTING the handgun at the criminals may have given the CA Gardner an opening. I expect the couple will get many contributions from gun owners for their defense, and I would also expect that any conviction would be overturned upon appeal. And forget George Soros! He gets blamed for everything, but he has neither the inclination nor the wealth to do everything he’s accused of, and the rioters of BLM doesn’t need his help!
Bob, I wilk tell you thar as a firearms instructor and advocate for safe and proper handling of firearms I cringed at the sight of her waving the pistol about with her finger on the trigger. However I’m not sure about pointing it at them. That’s going to be decided by an interpretation of Missouri law.
I will agree Soros gets overblamed but in the case of financing selected political elections he is a large player. And keep in mind although he may not be heavily financing things he does have wealthy, powerful comrades that think and act like him.
Alan Marshall for Governor! One lone sane voice in a crazy, crazy city in a state going to hell in a hand basket.
Thank you. I lived in the mud a long time. I can do it again.
