    So what!

    From the article...

    Patricia McCloskey and her husband, Mark McCloskey, have said the handgun Patricia McCloskey waved at protesters was inoperable because they had used it as a prop during a lawsuit they once filed against a gun manufacturer. In order to bring it into a courtroom, they made it inoperable.

    You guys really want to defend them? They are NOT on our side! They go after our gun makers. They file suits against the police for harassment of their clients, they donate to biden.

    :facepalm: yet some of you still want to defend them!
    They are the enemy! Let the enemy beat itself up. Less to worry about for us.

    I will defend the Second amendment rights of anyone, even to the extent that when a felons has served their complete sentence including probation their rights should be restored.

    So where are we at? Never get out of boat, or push the limits of curtilage to the property line and spray-paint CASTLE DOCTRINE on the yard?

    Edit: I could argue for and against both sides.

    I'm not defending them. It's kind of educational; they're lefties, they're anti-police lawyers, they've issued that simpering statement about how they love BLM but there were white people clicking pistol magazines at them, and they're still getting screwed.

    Sorry I see how my text came out wrong.
    The "so what" is not about defending them but about the gun being inoperable.

    I dont know Missouri law but IIRC in indiana so long as it's a firearm it does NOT matter if its operable or not. It's the firearm period.

    Just like you cant go into a school with a AR lower (the actual firearm) itself even if it had no mag, no barrel, no springs, no trigger, etc. The piece of metal lower is the actual firearm and still against the law.

    So my "so what" is in reference that I dont think it matters if the gun works or does not work at the time it's a firearm and the law, at least in indiana, is silent on its operation.

    In Indiana, it's a lesser charge to point an unloaded firearm at someone than it is to point a loaded firearm. I always thought that was a weird quirk in the law, as the intent when pointing a gun at someone is the same. Anyhow, I wonder how an inoperable firearm would play into whether a gun was "unloaded" in Indiana, for legal purposes. The law has a way of making words mean what they don't really mean sometimes.

    That would be a good question for guy.
    But my guess is it would not matter as a gun is a gun all the time.

    In Missouri, for the charge in question, it does matter; an element of that charge is that the firearm is "readily capable" (or somesuch wording) of firing.
