Missouri couple who defended home have rifle seized during police search: report

Authorities in St. Louis executed a search warrant Friday evening at the home of Mark and Patricia McCloskey, the couple who made headlines last month when they took up arms to defend their home from protesters.

During the search, police seized the rifle that Mark McCloskey was shown holding during the June 28 incident, KSDK-TV of St. Louis reported, citing information from a source.

The couple claimed the pistol that Patricia McCloskey held during the June confrontation was already in the possession of their attorney, the station reported.

There was no immediate indication the McCloskeys were arrested or charged with a crime. The warrant applied only to a search for the guns, KSDK reported.

On Monday, the McCloskeys appeared on Fox News’ “Hannity” and disclosed that protesters had returned to their neighborhood July 3 – but the couple was alerted in advance and hired a private security company to protect their residence.

Personally if it’s me, since there is such a double standard judicial system and no Rule of Law, if I have to pull my weapon, I am using it and I won’t stop. As Aesop say’s after the first one the Rest are Free. I will not be taken and put in a cage for defending myself or my family. They are going to have to kill me and then the many others that will follow. Time is short. Harden your Hearts. Get your Minds right.

It didn’t have to be this way.
