"It only took 3 lawsuits, 2 trips to the Court of Appeals and 1,847 days, but I got my AR15 back!" Mark McCloskey posted to his X account on Friday, along with several photos of him carrying the gun.
"We defended our home, were persecuted by the left, smeared by the press, and threatened with death, but we never backed down."
