Judge Expunges McCloskey Convictions; Couple Demands Return of Firearms

Mark and Patricia McCloskey's misdemeanor records have been cleared, reigniting their legal battle to reclaim seized guns.

A St. Louis judge expunged the McCloskeys' misdemeanor convictions from a 2020 incident involving Black Lives Matter protesters.
The couple argues they were defending their property and have since been pardoned by Missouri's governor.
Mark McCloskey insists the city return their confiscated firearms, threatening further legal action if not complied.
City prosecutors and police opposed the expungement, citing ongoing public safety concerns.
The McCloskeys previously attempted to retrieve their guns in 2021 but were denied by the courts.
