“missouri”

On Tuesday, the Missouri House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed House Bill 1468—a “permitless” concealed-carry measure.

After NRA-backed reforms to Missouri’s Right-to-Carry law resulted in so many additional applicants that Jackson County alone faced a backlog of 21,000 applications.

Republican Missouri state Rep. Ron Hicks has introduced a bill that would allow concealed carry on Missouri’s public transportation.

With former NYC mayor and anti-gun billionaire Michael Bloomberg poised to spend big bucks in Missouri to stop an attempted override of SB 655, NRA’s Institute for Legislative Action is alerting Show Me State gun owners to the threat.

On Saturday night, not far from the University of Missouri campus in Columbia, a man attempted an armed robbery. But the robbery victim stopped him cold by pulling his own gun and firing.

The suit named University of Missouri President Tim Wolfe as defendant and invoked both the Second Amendment and a Missouri measure passed in 2014 that affirms the right to bear arms as “unalienable.”

Officials with NRA’s Institute for Legislative Action are warning that new legislation now under consideration in Missouri could lead to a gun owner registry in the Show-Me State.
