Brandishing a handgun and threatening people walking in front of your home is perfectly OK in the state of Missouri — at least for the governor and his friends.
Tim Fitzsimons of NBC News reported that Missouri Gov. Mike Parson is officially pardoning Patricia and Mark McCloskey, the husband and wife couple that made national headlines during the summer of 2020 when they stood on their front steps and repeatedly waved their firearms at dozens of Black Lives Matter protesters peacefully marching on the street in front of their home.
The McCloskeys, who ran a personal injury law practice for decades, were included among the 10 pardons and two commutations Parson announced on July 31.
