I note that the couple's weapons were not seized immediately. A search warrant was issued and the pistol was not available. Supposedly the pistol was held by heir atty and still later surrendered. The couple claims the pistol was non-functional during the confrontation. [Can't be proven. You can believe it or not as you wish.]
The correct assembly by the crime lab and subsequent test firing will undoubtedly be subject to legal arguments.
I am still interested to see photos of the crowd / mob / rioters. Were they armed? Were they carrying incendiary items? Did they make threats?
I'm afraid muzzle control, trigger control with a threat not yet apparent may go against them. Had they not crossed that line, I think they should have been ok.
