Missouri Gov. Mike Parson told « Hannity » on Monday that « without a doubt, » he will pardon Mark and Patricia McCloskey, hours after St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kimberly Gardner filed felony charges against them.
The charges stemmed from the McCloskeys wielding firearms after a crowd entered their gated neighborhood, and some allegedly threatened them and their property. The McCloskeys argued that they broke an iron gate to get onto the private street.
Parson, a Republican, said Missouri was one of several states with a « castle doctrine » principle wherein people could protect themselves, their family and/or their property in certain situations.
« Without a doubt, Sean, » he said when asked about a pardon. « I will do everything within the Constitution of the State of Missouri to protect law-abiding citizens and those people are exactly that.
