No offense but Mrs McCloskey is a dumbass for holding an inoperable gun. The AR was sufficient imho. Imagine SHTF and she was there holding a 2 lb paperweight.
Also as long as you make people feel like you have a real gun then youre still committing aggravated assault.( I know they were lawfully protecting themselves and their home Im just playing devils advocate) Even if you just use your words (depending on the state of course)
Massachusetts is such a state: if you threaten the use of a gun even as a deterrent and your assailant is not about to use deadly force on you then you have committed aggravated assault.
That is why it makes no sense to not carry hot in Mass.You literally cant let the cat out of the bag that you have a gun or even draw it unless you are within the law to use deadly force against your attacker.
