Gun-toting attorney Mark McCloskey has shown off his new rifle just two days after pleading guilty to misdemeanor charges and agreeing to surrender the weapon he pointed unarmed Black Lives Matter protesters.
‘Checking out my new AR,’ reads the caption. McCloskey is seen in the photos wearing a curt smile and brandishing the weapon with a finger just above the trigger. One photo also includes his wife Patricia giving a thumbs up.
The gun-toting St. Louis couple, both personal injury attorneys in their 60s, appeared in court Thursday where they admitted to a judge that their actions had put peaceful protesters at risk of serious injury.

I really can't believe they coped to this.
BLM/Antifa broke into their property, threatened them and now THEY are at fault????
Because the manicured lawyer decided to live in St Louis. If he was truly conservative, pro 2nd and knew a damn thing about the John Deere he poses with on his campaign site, he'd have lived further out to get outside the limits and away from places antifa/blm might roam. Dude's a fake doing a photo op and trying to go viral on social apps for his campaign.
I see that it even has that tank-killer thingee attached to the end of the barrel...
And how did the jackass who wrote the article know the rioters were unarmed?
Met a businessman once, who (with his 2-year-old daughter in the car) was on the receiving end of a 'road rage' incident. Cops showed up, and were confronted with a typical each-driver-blames-the-other situation. So, the cops confiscated weapons from BOTH parties: Mr. 'Road Rage' surrendered his foot-long screw driver (or crowbar?), and the businessman got to hand over his Wilson Combat Tactical Supergrade Compact (i.e., a ~$5000 1911). Don't know if either party ever got their property back.
Some folks suggest, "Figure out what you think your life is worth, and keep that in mind when you buy your concealed carry gun." I think that might have been the businessman's approach - but it's also worth remembering the potential down side...
It is directed at you. /I don’t think that’s being a Democrat./ My response: He WAS a Democrat and gave $$$ to Democrats until this happened.
when he saw the reduced charges, he just chuckled and said, “where do I sign”, and then went to the nearest gun store./that’s a grown man telling himself, “I have better things to do with my time and my money”
The real question: Would you follow this guy into battle?
I hope that they are paying attention to who has their backs - the left or the right. Which side has dogged, damaged, and persecuted them and which side has defended them, even though they don’t share our political views?
Bullshit. The protesters were armed and in many pictures one can see clearly they held weapons also. The MSM is as full of crap as a Christmas Turkey waiting for slaughter. Can any of the MSM report honestly anymore?
additionally, these people are BOTH lawyers—criminal attorney ones, IIRC, and so they know the score.
Sorry, I like a flat top. Slap on on your own rails, iron sights and optic.
as predicted!
The Governor said he would Pardon them.
The Case had to be settled before that could be done.
It also saved them from being Bankrupted by the Leftist DA who has Taxpayer funded deep pockets.
I remember reading that he was a Republican.
If he’s a Dem, he’s a Dem.
I’m not talking about going into battle. What does that have to do with anything? Nothing. What does that have to do with this case? Nothing.
This was about him and his wife being wrongly charged, wrongly prosecuted, the State Attorney getting the cops to tamper with evidence.
As for following folks into battle, since you’re the Jason Bourne & Jack Bauer type, name me one member of the Senate that you would follow into battle. About the only one I can think of that has been consistent in his thinking and voting, love him or hate him, is Rand Paul. Other than that, they all pretty much suck.
So, even though he probably does t stand much chance of winning, would you take a chance on him or some establishment backed POS to replace Blount. Although I think Greitens is going to win anyway
He is running for the Senate. Either he fights out in the open, or he gives up the political race.
Not a PPK/S.
Looked a lot like it from a distance.
I thought Stormfront was purged years ago, looks like I was wrong.......
I suspect the feds aren’t done with them yet.
They’re still breathing and vertical.
Good for them. Buy more!
I think the best line in the excerpt is “brandishing the weapon with a finger just above the trigger”.
I’m surprised there was no mention that the fully semi-automatic assault weapon was capable of holding a 100 round clip of 50mm heat seeking incendiary bullets.
You need to co-witness your optics with your sights. You can also use flip down iron sights. Just food for thought.
