Re: St. Louis Lawers (What would you have done.

I'm not sure I understand the question, but I'll try my best.

I live on a public street, so the protestors would not be trespassing if they stayed in the street and off my lawn. When I first saw them, I would be armed with the handgun that I carry on my belt at all times, but I would also grab a long gun from the bedroom safe. I have a choice of 2 in that safe, and would probably get the Tavor instead of the shotgun. I would tell my wife to call 911. Not that I'd expect a police response, but more to get things on record. My dog would be going nuts, so I'd probably lock him in the bedroom when I got the Tavor (he's a small dog).

I'd tell my wife to get to the bedroom and cover the door to that room with the shotgun, while she stayed on with 911, just in case the protestors got extremely violent and got past me. If our kids were at the house, they would get to that same bedroom as well. I'd then take up a position near the front of the house where my windows overlook the street. I should be able to see anyone on the street without giving up cover, and without showing them that I have a rifle. If they enter the house, I'd stop the threat using whatever level of force was necessary to accomplish that. I wouldn't leave the house unless it was on fire.

So basically the same response as I would have to a home invasion, give or take, with the added benefit of being fully awake when things started going down (I always picture myself being awoken from sleep during a home invasion).
