St Louis Police executed a search warrant on Friday night to seize the rifle Mark McCloskey was seen using to defend his home from Black Lives Matter rioters last month.

The pistol his wife used to defend their home is reportedly in the hands of their attorney, so it’s possible they’re entirely disarmed.

Antifa terrorists just recently threatened to kill them and burn down the historic Midwestern palazzo they’ve spent 32 years restoring.

Soros-funded St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner wants to throw them to the wolves.

From KSDK, “McCloskeys served with search warrant, police take rifle shown in viral pictures”:

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

5 On Your Side is not aware of any charges against the McCloskeys at this time, and the warrant served Friday evening was just for the guns.

From Todd Starnes, “Warrants Served on St. Louis Couple Who Defended Home Against BLM Thugs”:

Mr. McCloskey tells The Todd Starnes Radio Show that police seized the AR-15 he was photographed holding while an angry mob assembled on the lawn of his private home.

“We complied with the search warrant. They took my AR” he told me. “I’m absolutely surprised by this.”

He also said both he and his wife have retained criminal counsel.

Mr. McCloskey declined to answer any more questions, but I suspect they would be willing to go to jail before they back down.

Fox News covered the disturbing revelations on Friday night:

Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt told Fox News that St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner has an “abysmal record in prosecuting violent crime” and has been letting rioters and looters off the hook.

“Under Missouri law, under the Castle Doctrine an individual has really expansive authority to protect their own lives, their home, and their property,” Schmitt said.

“And I think the story here to watch here is the local prosecutor, Kim Gardner,” he said. “Kim Gardner has an abysmal record in prosecuting violent crime, has recently released and been complicit in the release of dozens and dozens of inmates who have been charged with violent crimes, and has a record of making politically-motivated decisions not based on the law. So, this is certainly something to watch.”

“It’s hard to get into the mind of Kim Gardner,” Schmitt said. “As I said, she has a sketchy track record of making politically based decisions.”

Gardner put out a statement claiming the BLM rioters who invaded their private neighborhood were “peaceful protesters” and they were “met by guns and a violent assault” and threatened that she will “use the full power of Missouri law to hold people accountable.”
