MO Bills on Guns

[.46caliber]

There's a whole host of bills moving through MO legislation right now, way more than HB170 (good), HB545 (abhorrent) and HB633 (over the top good).

These bills cover subjects including CCW, mag capacity, school campus carry, Federal legislation, and AWBs.

Most of the bills are in our favor, but there are some that aim to shave or downright cripple our 2nd Amendment rights. Read up and write your Reps, Senators and the Governor.

HB89 is atrocious, Mike Colona seeks to nullify the entire purpose of a CCW or an HD firearm.

I will work on a cheat sheet and post it soon.

I'm working on the cheat sheet.

I'm a little disturbed that of the 30 measures, only one has been voted and passed. The one that affects State employees.

I'm looking through the summaries first, to develop a rough of the cheat sheet. Once I get all down, I'll go back and read each bill, one by one, and update accordingly.

If any of you want to help, pick a bill or two and read through it and PM me. If you see any corrections that need to be made PM me.

Happy to do it. I have had it up to here with the horse shit coming down from our Government. Not in my State.

I was going to PM you on this one, but I thought it might be helpful to share what I found out from the text with everyone on the board. First here is the link to the latest wording as of 3/8/2013: http://legiscan.com/MO/text/HB754/2013

In a nutshell, there is new language that allows for certain individuals who are retired LEO and the like to be able to apply for a status of CCW that would nullify a lot of the "prohibited" places a non-LEO, non-federal judge, etc. can carry. There seems to be a section that requires those folks to undergo further training in order to qualify for the "CCW plus". It would be nice if they extended it to everyone. There's a lot more to it and I encourage you all to read this one. Maybe future pushes in this legislation would be to extend it as an option to all of us.

Bottom line: I think it is a good law as it opens up more carry options for those individuals.
