The St. Louis couple who wielded firearms while Black Lives Matter protesters gathered outside their mansion will make an appearance at the Republican National Convention next week, a report said Monday.
Personal injury attorneys Mark and Patricia McCloskey are expected to express their support for President Trump during the virtual weeklong event, party officials told the Washington Post.

If Halloween parties are allowed this year, couples should go as the McCloskeys. It would be pretty easy and instantly recognizable.

The pistol supposedly was. Didn’t hear that about the “AK47” or is it an AR14?

“The entire country will regret the day if a pro 2nd amendment president- DJT - isnt reelected.
God help us.”
The Antifa and BLM thugs have absolutely no comprehension that the 2nd Amendment protects THEM a whole lot more than us normals. There are WAY more of us, and many of us are WAY better armed and trained than them.
You’re correct, though, about what will be if Biden wins - God help us.

“Yep, leaked docs from the prosecutors office revealed the pistol was assembled with the spring on the wrong side of the firing pin apparently intentionally disabled to be used as a courtroom exhibit. And the rifle was not loaded.”
I do NOT want to play poker against those people. :>)
But they allowed themselves to be surprised by an armed mob within days and blocks of previous rioting - very foolish, but they got very, very lucky. Let that be a lesson to everyone else - make sure that you have at least one firearm that is in perfect working order, that you’re well-trained with, and which is either loaded or has magazines (plural) or speed loaders (plural) within a foot or two of it. Having a long gun almost always beats a handgun in terms of intimidating/running off groups.

They should do so while holding their guns as seen in the photos ! Those guns are not available because the have been confiscated by the police.

Republicans should publically announce that they are providing free firearms training to the couple - especially the wife.

This will have about 1000 times the impact of Kasich and those other weasel RINOs appearing at the DNC convention. Yup.
Trump has so much from the Dem inspired riots to clobber the Dems with. The Dems have...wait for it... Kasic and Christine Todd Whitman. ROFL!
To: Ancesthntr
But they allowed themselves to be surprised by an armed mob within days and blocks of previous rioting - very foolish, And just how did they “allow themselves to be surprised”? They should have hired an army?
To: SmokingJoe
By not paying attention to what happened a few blocks and days earlier. They totally reacted - in an unprepared way - to what happened. 1 non-functional gun, the other unloaded. That is allowing yourself to be surprised.
You don’t need an army to think and prepare.

So if say you live in midtown Manhattan, with riots and looting literally every day, what are you supposed to be doing? Suspend your life , stop sleeping and be on permanent watch with guns to the ready and hire armed guards on permanent watch? Who is going to pay for all that?
Did you watch what the segment where Greg Gutfield described what happened to him and his wife in Manhattan?
To: Ancesthntr
They totally reacted - in an unprepared way - to what happened. 1 non-functional gun, the other unloaded. That is allowing yourself to be surprised How would a functioning and a loaded gun have affected the outcome?
Would the mob have known they were functioning guns or not? The results would have been exactly the same and possibly even worse by them shooting one of thise clowns. In which case Kim Gardner would be doing her best to string em up.
To: SmokingJoe
The difference is that you don’t go into a possibly lethal confrontation with guns that either don’t work or are unloaded.
That they bluffed and won - the mob didn’t attack them - is just pure, dumb luck. I might gamble a few dollars on pure, dumb luck like the roll of some dice or a roulette wheel, but I won’t do that with my life.
I will never intentionally or knowingly strap on a handgun without it being in good working order and loaded. What they did was careless as Hell - but I’m glad that they got lucky. Luck, like hope, is not a plan.
