A Missouri couple made headlines when they were seen in a viral video brandishing guns at protesters outside their mansion.
Now, CNN reports the Patricia and Mark McCloskey have been charged with the unlawful use of a weapon, which is a class E felony.
The couple's lawyer says his clients are being unfairly charged, citing the First and Second Amendments of the US Constitution.
Missouri Gov. Mike Parson has sided with the couple, also saying he doesn't think the two should face charges.
