Anyone know if this now leaves them as prohibited persons, unable to ever own firearms again?
This is probably why they plead down to misdemeanor. A felony would have made them prohibited persons.

The governor promised to pardon them if convictedThis is probably why they plead down to misdemeanor. A felony would have made them prohibited persons.
Cheer up; it's not as if the state is entitled to retain them now.They should have their weapons returned to them that were taken
And who’s gonna do that LOLNow the AG needs to be charged with prosecutorial misconduct for evidence tampering.
Democrat Rep. Cori Bush expressed outrage over Missouri Gov. Mike Parson’s pardons of the St. Louis McCloskey couple, who fended off a mob of protesters outside their St. Louis home by bearing firearms before the crowd. Bush, a progressive and Missouri native who represents the state’s 1st Congressional District, threatened Mark McCloskey and promised that “his day will come” because McCloskey “has spat on my name.”
You better hope the guys from the other thread on this don’t read your post“Cover”?? “Elevated shooting position”??…nah, get out there barefoot and show em some balls was the solution at the time and don’t even ask about the high or low readyI think the prosecution was politically motivated
As was the Pardon
Why did they plead out? They should have had people lining up to help them
But that being said, they didn't do the 2A cause any favor IMHO
Tactically they made all sorts of mistakes IMHO including giving up cover, giving up the advantage of a second story shooting position, etc.... and if the crowd rushed them, even if they got shots off, they were going to be overcome by sheer numbers and in the worst case scenario shot with their own weapon (although it is rumored one was non functional)
Yep. They’re on “The List”. Mark my words. They will be destroyed. Just a matter of time.Mark McCloskey’s “day will come,” threatens Cori Bush after St. Louis couple is pardoned by governor

BLM should have never entered the property and gone through their gates
BLM should have never been allowed to march on private property
No one, that's the sucky part.And who’s gonna do that LOL
Like.Mark McCloskey cites governor's pardon in lawsuit to get guns back
The St. Louis man who was caught on video waving a firearm at Black Lives Matter demonstrators along with his wife outside their home is suing to have the guns returned days after a pardon granted to the couple was made public.www.foxnews.com
I wonder if they are still registered Democrats?The St. Louis couple who was famously pictured wielding guns as Black Lives Matter demonstrators marched outside their property last year received a pardon from Missouri Gov. Mike Parson, his office announced Tuesday.
The pardons for Mark and Patricia McCloskey, two attorneys in their 60s, were granted July 30. In total, Parson, a Republican, granted 12 pardons and two commutations.
WHO IS KIMBERLY GARDNER, MISSOURI PROSECUTOR AT CENTER OF MCCLOSKEY CASE?
The pair pleaded guilty to misdemeanors in connection with the June 2020 incident and were ordered to pay fines. Mark McCloskey, pleaded guilty to misdemeanor fourth-degree assault for threatening the passersby with an AR-15 rifle and was fined $750.

Patricia McCloskey pleaded guilty to harassment and was given a $2,000 fine. They did not lose their law licenses or their firearms.
"It's a correction of something that should have never happened in the first place," Mark McCloskey told Fox News of the pardons.
The pair were both vilified and celebrated after images went viral showing them pointing weapons at BLM demonstrators who ingressed into the property inside a gated community. They eventually ventured onto a private street near the McCloskey's mansion.
The crowd was marching toward the home of then-Mayor Lyda Krewson amid nationwide protest over the police killing of George Floyd.
Mark McCloskey was seen holding a rifle while his wife appeared to be holding a handgun with her finger on the trigger.
The confrontation pitted Second Amendment and property-rights activists against Black Lives Matter supporters. The McCloskeys became famous in conservative circles and even gave a speech on the first night of the 2020 Republican National Convention.
St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kimberly Gardner initially lodged weapons and evidence tampering charges against the pair but was legally removed from the case after defense attorneys argued she exploited the prosecution in a fundraising email to constituents.
