Last month, Mark and Patricia McCloskey went viral on social media after they were filmed brandishing guns at passing Black Lives Matter protesters outside their home in St. Louis, Missouri.

The stunning footage shows the two personal injury lawyers waving a rifle and handgun at protesters as they made their way through their gated community to challenge Mayor Lyda Krewson.

Speaking to KMOV after the incident, the gun-weilding Mr McCloskey said that he and his wife "feared for their lives". He told the outlet:

"A mob of at least 100 smashed through the historic wrought iron gates of Portland Place, destroying them, rushed towards my home where my family was having dinner outside and put us in fear of our lives.

"This is all private property. There are no public sidewalks or public streets. I was terrified that we'd be murdered within seconds, our house would be burned down, our pets would be killed. We were all alone facing an angry mob."

Despite the footage showing the protesters passing by their home peacefully, Mark McCloskey said it was "about as bad as it can get."

He added: "I mean, those you know, I really thought it was Storming the Bastille and that we would be dead and the house would be burned and there was nothing we could do about it."

Now, in an interview with Fox News' Watters' World, Mark McCloskey has gushed over his wife's actions outside their home.

"I was always surprised to see her out there facing off [the] welfare crowd.

"I grabbed my rifle and I was standing up on the porch - and all of a sudden I see her in the front yard with our pistol in her hand. What a woman."

Mr McCloskey has also criticized the local media for their coverage of the incident, stating that they have been "slandered and maligned".

He added: "There is no limit to what they'll do to try to make me look bad. So that is how I am being treated in the press for defending my home."

Following the disturbing scene, authorities in St. Louis executed a search warrant on July 10 at the McCloskey's home, where police seized the rifle that Mark was seen brandishing during the June 28 incident.

Kimberly Gardner, circuit attorney in St. Louis, had said that her office and the St. Louis Police Department are conducting an investigation into the McCloskeys' firearms display.

However, Mr McCloskey revealed on Watter's World that he cannot see any "criminal aspect" to his and his wife's actions, saying: "I don't know the details of the criminal aspect of this, although I think there is no criminal aspect of this."
