On January 1, 2017, new rules for gun-owners in Missouri went into effect.
One of the changes was the expansion of the state’s Castle Doctrine which created a stand-your-ground right.
The Castle Doctrine is a common law doctrine that allows residents to use deadly force against anyone, based on the notion that their home is "their castle." Basically, if an intruder violates the sanctity of your home, and you believe they intend to do you harm, you should be able to protect yourself or others against an attack.
According to Findlaw.com, Missouri's law is more extensive than those of other states because it allows you to use deadly force to attack an intruder to protect any private property that you own, in addition to yourself or another individual. This means that if someone illegally enters your front porch or backyard, you can use deadly force against them without retreating first."

Wait, Byron, all those things are considered "peaceful protests," didn't you know the laws have all been changed to favor BLM now?

If it was not BLM we would probably not even known about this incident at all. Broke their gate trespassed on his property and threatened their life, what were they suppose to do serve them refreshments.

That's why the MO AG is talking about a pardon if they are convicted and Trump has spoken out about it. It's more BS from a very biased, hostile circuit judge.

Wait what law did they break? Pointing a gun at trespassers while they stood on their property?

Most states the intruder has to be entering your home or at least trying to.

There was no law broken. They were protecting themselves and their property.
