Should have told the cable guys "NO" the second time and, then complained to the company. That is some BS from the sound of it, I hope some cable installers are suddenly unemployed in the very near future. And assuming she kept the muzzle down the whole time, then It'd be nice to see some charges brought up about making false accusations. Somebody banged on my back door around 9 at night a while ago. I just ignored it, when they presisted I had a .45 ready to rock in roll in my hand, but I kept it out of sight. It was some guy wanting to buy my beat up Cirrus that didn't have a for sale sign, because it's not for sale.
Do we know that she didn't point the firearm at the workers? Seems like an important detail to me. They said she did, she said they didn't. Who knows? If she did, then she deserved what she got.
So I gotta ask though,,, What if she did point it at them and intruct that they GTF off her private property??
If you knock on my door and I do not know you, ESPECIALLY 3 of you, there is a better chance than not you'll get an eye full of mine. Is this breaking the law??? I'm lost here! and Sorry but thats Bull Crap.
I personally would have it as she said she did "holding it behind her" but I honestly just thought that was a courtesy.
Considering the fact that the people were trespassers for being on her property in the first place after she told them not to be by the back door, I highly doubt that this case will go anywhere. I can't imagine a trespasser can claim he was assaulted.
Bill, I understand what you're saying, but I'd say if three strangers came to my door, I'd consider that enough of a "threat" (potentially three-against-one) that I would be prepared to use force to defend myself until it proved to be unnecessary. Trespass wouldn't necessarily enter into the situation. I wonder if that would suffice as a defense?

I keep it out of sight too if unholstered.As I might as well. Answering my door happens with my sidearm in hand, but behind the door. It's not seen unholstered.
