McCloskey and his wife Patricia had been forced to surrender the rifle and a second firearm after pleading guilty to misdemeanors for pointing the guns at George Floyd protesters in 2020.

Mark McCloskey has gotten back his AR-15.

The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department last Thursday agreed to return the weapon to the St. Louis lawyer. McCloskey and his wife, Patricia, had been forced to surrender the rifle and a second firearm after pleading guilty to misdemeanors in 2021 for pointing the guns at protesters.

"It only took 3 lawsuits, 2 trips to the Court of Appeals and 1,847 days, but I got my AR15 back! We defended our home, were persecuted by the left, smeared by the press, and threatened with death, but we never backed down," McCloskey wrote in a post on X on Friday.
