Mark McCloskey — gun-wielding St. Louis attorney who confronted BLM protesters outside his home — considering Senate run

Mark McCloskey — the gun-toting St. Louis personal injury attorney who, along with his wife, Patricia, famously confronted Black Lives Matter protesters outside of their home last year — is reportedly considering a run for U.S. Senate in Missouri.

"I can confirm that it's a consideration, yes," McCloskey told Politico during an interview Tuesday.

Should he choose to enter the race, McCloskey would likely face off against other well-known candidates such as former Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens and state Attorney General Eric Schmitt in what is expected to be a hotly contested race to replace Republican Sen. Roy Blunt (Mo.) following his retirement.

Last month, Blunt, who currently serves as chairman of the Senate Republican Policy Committee and ranking member of the Senate Rules Committee, announced he would not seek re-election when his term expires in 2022.
