SUMMARY
Mark and Patricia McCloskey, the St. Louis couple known for brandishing weapons during Black Lives Matter protests in 2020, have had their records expunged. A judge granted their request, citing the purpose of expungement is to offer rehabilitated individuals a second chance. The couple, who were convicted of misdemeanor assault in 2021, also seek the return of their confiscated firearms. Despite being pardoned by Missouri's governor in 2021, a judge previously ruled they wouldn't get their guns back or a fine refund. The McCloskeys have threatened to sue the city if their weapons are not returned.
