Their attorney, Albert Watkins, said the couple are long-time civil rights advocates and support the message of the Black Lives Matter movement. As demonstrators marched near the Renaissance palazzo-style home of Mark and Patricia McCloskey on Sunday, video posted online showed him wielding a long-barreled gun and her with a small handgun. The group of at least 500 people chanted, “Resign, Lyda! ST. LOUIS — The St. Louis couple who became internationally famous for standing guard with guns outside their mansion during a protest have pulled a gun before in defense of their property, according to an affidavit in an ongoing case. Mark and Patricia McCloskey emerge Sunday evening from their Portland Place house pointing guns at demonstrators who were on their way to protest in front of St. Louis Mayor Lyda Krewson's house. The McCloskeys -- he’s 63 and she’s 61 -- are both personal injury lawyers and their home is on a private street called Portland Place in St. Louis’ well-to-do Central West End. It turned out to be a neighbor cutting through on the way home from a nearby business district. In the earlier incident, Watkins said, Patricia McCloskey heard a noise at night and saw someone. Portland Place is in St. Louis' Central West End neighborhood, which Zillow classifies as a "very hot" sellers' market.

Watkins said in an interview that the McCloskeys have “touched their weapons” just twice in their 32 years on Portland Place — during the incident in 1988 or 1989 cited in the affidavit, and on Sunday. Police said the McCloskeys heard a loud commotion in the street and saw a large group of people break an iron gate marked with “No Trespassing” and “Private Street” signs.

The McCloskeys and the trustees of Portland Place are involved in a three-year legal dispute over a small piece of property. A judge on Monday ruled against motions from both sides to end the case without a trial. Details about the legal case were first reported Thursday by St. Louis Post-Dispatch. The McCloskeys claim they own it, but the trustees say it belongs to the neighborhood.
