This is assault with a deadly weapon. A violent crime.https://twitter.com/CaseyNolen/status/1277428389452943360 …
Don't think so. They have the right to be there. It's their house. See 3/4, assault 4th degree from MO code. https://statelaws.findlaw.com/missouri-law/missouri-assault-laws.html …pic.twitter.com/flqeNAxl5l

You can commit a crime in a place you have the right to be. For the law here, I might look at Mo Rev Stat 571.030.1(4): "Exhibits, in the presence of one or more persons, any weapon readily capable of lethal use in an angry or threatening manner."

No crime if they were "engaged in a lawful act of defense," but otherwise a Class D felony. Their being at home is relevant to a duty to retreat, but I think the question is whether they reasonably believed they were defending against the use or imminent use of unlawful force.

It's worth noting that they are both personal injury lawyers so I doubt they don't know what they're doing here.

- Read item 4, which you highlighted: they were doing that - you don’t have a right to point a gun at someone for no valid reason - private property isn’t relevant as the victims were all on public property
