ST. LOUIS — 5 On Your Side has learned St. Louis police officers executed a search warrant Friday evening at the home of Mark and Patricia McCloskey, the Central West end couple who confronted protesters with weapons in June.

Sources told 5 On Your Side that police seized one of the weapons, the rifle, from the couple and they told police their attorney has the pistol seen in photos.

One attorney representing another attorney, police illegally seize a registered weapon ....Weapon gets returned and the Mayor of St Louis looks like the arse he actually is.

But the Police took the weapon.

Owner's private security team that he hired, stays in place until the gun is returned. Antifa, BLM get nothing ...

Big thread on this yesterday that I didn't get in on.

It looks like a blatant violation of the 2A.

It seems that people will have to devise a strategy to conceal their weapons until to last moment it is needed just to keep rouge D.A. attention away.

Time for mccloskeys to go gun shopping. They need a bigger arsenal.

When I see an angry mob of dozens of people breaking down a gate, close up and threatening me I will not conceal but rather point my weapon directly at their mid-section. So frick concealing.

Leftist insanity. I would have done exactly the same thing but may have taken some shots either in the group or at the people destroying my property and threatening to murder me and my wife.

But, this is the ultimate plan, disarm law abiders so the criminals can run rampant.

Missouri is a "stand your ground State."
Unless the gun was owned unlawfully, which I doubt, this is without merit. They should sue.

As the Trump term has shown, there are huge gaps in oversight as well as checks and balance. We have to come up with something better where there are immediate safeguards for liberties, in particular the liberties of people who are in imminent danger. These folks who have just a tinge of power need to have some fast action hanging over them should they step out of line and abuse their power. Our Constitutional rights as citizens FAR exceeds what power they have as low level government officials...at least in reality it is supposed to be this way. Things have gone off the rails some however and need to be reset. What this couple is going through is ridiculous!

For discussion only- I do not believe they broke any laws with their behavior.

However.....

How many of you baws have a fixed carry handle AR-15? That’s right, none of us.

Me thinks that’s a full rock and roll M-16 and he may or may not have the tax stamp necessary to own it.

There is something very sinister going on here.

It will set a precedent that if thugs come on your property, and you reveal your guns to protect yourself and family, the State will come take your guns.

Very scary and infuriating.









But, not for me, since I don’t have any....boating accident, you see....

People with guns ought to go get their guns back for them and deliver them to that household. Then set up a defensive perimeter around their household and dare anybody to try and enter.

They now have a target on their back from the mob with no way to defend themselves and it was done by the government’s hand.

This is government at its core right here. They are liberty restrictors.
