Good Guy with a Gun #113: St. Louis, MO

Original incident: February 21, 2024. There's some really good reporting here about the incident and the Castle Doctrine — and the location is unusual, too.

A man’s home really can be his castle.

Sure, the Castle Doctrine applies in Missouri, but doesn’t it feel even more like a castle when he lives at the Historic Tuscan Masonic Lodge of St. Louis?

This particular man, a caretaker of the site, lives on the third floor. Around 4:30 AM, the burglar alarm went off, so he armed himself and went to investigate.
