MISSOURI A.G. MOVING TO DISMISS GUN CHARGES

by Bob Walsh

Eric Schmitt is the Attorney General of Missouri.  He announced over the weekend that he is moving to dismiss the legal action against Mark and Patricia McCloskey on firearms charges.

The A. G. asserted that, "The shameless circuit attorney filed suit against the McCloskeys who took up arms when a crowd of rioters broke thru the security gate of their gated community and announced their intention to burn their house down.  

Early the governor, Mike Parson, had said that he would pardon the couple if the legal action against them was successful.

The State of Missouri has a very strong constitutional protection for firearms owners and also has a Castle Doctrine law.  

If I am following this correctly the legal actin by Circuit Attorney (local prosecutor) Kim Gardner is properly a lawsuit and not a prosecution.  The law is a little strange in Missouri.
