ST. LOUIS (ANN) — The St. Louis couple who used guns to protect their property from Black Lives Matter protesters outside their home in June will appear virtually at next week’s Republican National Convention to express their support for President Donald Trump.

A Trump adviser on Monday confirmed the participation of the couple. The news was first reported by The Washington Post.

The armed couple has shown they were protecting themselves from "protesters" marching on their private street.  However, they were each charged by a Left-leaning local prosecutor with one felony count of unlawful use of a weapon. 

President Trump has been critical of the couple's treatment and has spoken out in defense of the couple's rights to protect themselves.
