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 homes 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 pistol that Patricia McCloskey held during the June confrontation was already in the possession of the couple’s attorney, the station reported.

It’s an unplanned, but prepared for performance.
The McCloskyies are part of the Blue Establishment in St. Louis. Big Dem donors, prominent trial lawyers, part of the “in crowd”.
But there’s a new machine in town. And the old Blue elite will be ground up, shown their place. This is a message, directed to to you and me.
The message is this: “If we’re willing to do this to our own, what do you think we might have planned for you?”
We can no longer pretend that these are merely fellow citizens with whom we disagree. We are now two enemy camps, but so far, only the left has engaged the battle. Will the remnant of the founding people of America engage, or will we simply lie down and die?
We’re not just fighting the left, but “lawless” enforcement.
What was the warrant for? Media keeping that quiet?
The St. Louis mayor is a Democrat. Chief of Police is a Democrat or he ain’t made the COP. That is why the police did what they did, and did not respond to their please for help. The lawyer was wealthy though, and should have a few more rifles to pull out of his safe. I would.
What provision under Missouri law allows for weapons to be seized from citizens who are not being arrested or charged? Meanwhile the Republican Governor remains stone cold silent.
Fox website still not allowing comments on any articles. Their left wing editors hate that their readers have their own opinions. Trash site.
This is insanity and not a good omen for the future....
Well said. We need to stop playing defense. The aggressor sets the rules.
i now see that the term “arms cache” goes back at least to 1971...
“None of the articles I’ve seen mentioned their political opinions.“
I heard Mark McClosky do an interview with Michael Knowles. The video is available on YouTube. In that interview he corrected things said about him. He is not a democrat. He is a Trump supporter.
“Red-Flag law”?
Several screaming loons felt “Threatened” when confronted after tearing down the gate and entering private property.
Probably all it takes, hope they have obtained replacement arms, or hired armed security.
I also find it interesting that the couple are described in this thread as everything from solid Trump supporters to solid socialist. Will the real fake news please stand up?
I remember the Dukes of Hazzard were banned from having guns due to a conviction for making moonshine. So whenever they needed something like a firearm they just tied a stick of dynamite to an arrow.
They should have closed up the house and left the state right after this happened, taking all the firearms with them. They’re filthy rich and can certainly afford it, they’ve most likely got a vacation home or two in another state already. Hire a private security firm to guard the house 24/7 against the thugs.
They’re rich lawyers and have options that most of us don’t have available. They should have seen this coming and taken precautions.
>>Someone please explain, why were their guns confiscated? They owned them, they were defending their property, what was wrong here?
You answer your own question; they were able to defend their property. The left doesn’t like that.
Whites in Zimbabwe had rifles to defend themselves. Mugabe disarmed them before sending his supporters to rape and slaughter them all.
Serbia, Estonia, Slovenia, Hungary or Finland would be my first choices.
Believably Unbelievable
Boy aren’t you the prescient one. And the jewelry deserved what they got too. Right.
I dont think that most people in the US realize we are in a Marxist war. And that they own our institutions and are winning.
Huh?
That’s what I thought too based on first news accounts. HOWEVER, I heard the guy interviewed a couple of days ago and he strongly asserted that he and his wife were ABSOLUTELY NOT democrats but rather Republicans and ardent Trump supporters!
The DA there is one of those Soros implants who releases criminals and goes after the good guys.
And as the graffiti said, “Liberals get a bullet too”, signed with a hammer and sickle.
