Armed Couple Who Went Viral for Defending Home from BLM Protesters FINALLY Get Their Gun Back from Liberal Activist Court System

After a five-year legal battle involving multiple lawsuits and appeals, a St. Louis couple who stood their ground before their home with displayed firearms for protection from threatening Black Lives Matter protesters who swarmed outside their property FINALLY successfully reclaimed their AR-15 rifle.

And this was not California, or New York, or Illinois, or any other insane blue state. This was Missouri.

This from redstate.com.

The McCloskeys claimed the protesters had threatened their family while chanting slogans for BLM. Note: One of the protesters who took part in that march was former Missouri Rep. Cori Bush (C/G).

The St. Louis Circuit Attorney at the time, Kim Gardner, also a communist/globalist activist, responded to the incident by claiming the McCloskeys had met protesters with “guns and violent assault.” Which was not how the situation transpired by any stretch of the imagination.

The couple eventually pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges and agreed to forfeit their weapons, though they were ultimately pardoned by former Missouri Governor Mike Parson (R). And that was the start of the McCloskeys long battle for the return of their weapons.

Mark McCloskey celebrated finally getting his gun back with a message on X Friday:

It only took 3 lawsuits, 2 trips to the Court of Appeals, and 1,847 days, but I got my AR15 back!

McCloskey added images of the reuniting as well as some from the famed incident that kicked off the Second Amendment battle.

According to Fox News Digital:

McCloskey also expects the pistol used by Patricia during the viral confrontation to be returned.

Further, he told the outlet the fight to get their firearms back was expensive but well worth it:

That gun may have only been worth $1,500 or something, and it cost me a lot of time and a lot of effort to get it back, but you have to do that.

And:

You have to let them know that you will never back down, you’ll never give up.

He explained:

Each and every one of us owns a personal responsibility for our freedom and our democratic republic.

Within days of pleading guilty to the misdemeanor charges and having to forfeit their firearms, the McCloskeys quickly showed off a replacement AR-15 they legally purchased.

Mark posted a picture of himself with the firearm alongside the gun store owner, and another paired up with his wife.

“Checking out my new AR!” an excited McCloskey posted to X.

It is clear the communist/globalist—Soros-backed—prosecutor had engaged in an overzealous prosecution of the McCloskeys, seeking to thrash their Second Amendment rights, making a mockery of Missouri’s stand-your-ground and castle doctrine laws, and seeking to gain political points with the racially motivated protesters.

Gardner resigned in disgrace in May 2023 amid mounting pressure from Missouri’s Attorney General, legislative efforts to strip her authority, allegations of mismanagement, and a high-profile case involving a repeat offender who caused a severe accident to a teenage girl.
