St. Louis couple hit with felony charges for pulling guns at protest
Mark and Patricia McCloskey, the St. Louis couple who made headlines protecting their home from rioters, were charged Monday with felonies in the incident.

The couple held a rifle and handgun last month outside their house when protesters broke down a private gate and headed past their residence. Mr. McCloskey said they feared for their property and lives.

St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner has charged the couple with brandishing weapons, accusing the couple of waving the guns at protesters in a threatening way.

Missouri AG moves to dismiss charges against couple who pointed guns at crowd
Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt on Monday moved to dismiss charges brought by St. Louis’ top prosecutor against a couple who pointed guns at a crowd marching to the mayor’s home last month, Fox News has learned.

St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner, the city’s top prosecutor, said Mark and Patricia McCloskey – both personal injury attorneys in their 60s – will be charged with felony unlawful use of a weapon following the June 28 incident.

[...]

Within hours of the ruling, Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt filed a brief seeking to dismiss Gardner’s charges against the McCloskeys on the grounds that their Second Amendment rights are being violated.

As I understand it, they're accused of crossing the line into whatever that state's equivalent of "brandishing" is. Lesson of the day, keep guns holstered or slung until you have a target.

Then there's this.

ST. LOUIS — The gun Patricia McCloskey waved at protesters was inoperable when it arrived at the St. Louis police crime lab, but a member of Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner's staff ordered crime lab experts to disassemble and reassemble it and wrote that it was “readily capable of lethal use” in charging documents filed Monday, 5 On Your Side has learned.

People, and not the McCloskey's, need to be prosecuted for this BS.
