STL attorney known for waving gun at protesters running for Senate

St. Louis attorney Mark McCloskey, who gained the spotlight last year after waving a gun at protestors in front of his home, is running for U.S. Senate.

Former Gov. Eric Greitens and Attorney General Eric Schmitt also have announced campaigns for the seat being vacated by Sen. Roy Blunt.
