So for the past few months (ever since the tragedy in Conn.) the US has been in a battle for the rights of the people and multiple government officials and public figures have been making their opinions clear and taking sides. For a short time it looked as if Missouri was going to follow suit with states like Colorado and California. But in recent weeks bills have been proposed, signed and push forward concerning our Constitutional rights, mainly our 2nd Amendment rights.
One of these bills was going to shift the tables completely. This bill would not only help solidify our 2nd Amendment rights but actually lessen the current restrictions already in place.
According to what I have read, this bill was passed either yesterday (Wednesday, May 8th) or today (Thursday, May 9th).
Some of the things from the bill that put a smile on my face were sections like...
The bill would also allow people with a firearms permit to openly carry weapons less than 16 inches in length even in localities that prohibit open-carry of firearms
The legislation passed Wednesday would prevent people from publishing any identifying information on gun owners. A person who publishes such information would be guilty of a class A misdemeanor.
And my personal favorite...
The measure would also lower the minimum age required to obtain a concealed weapons permit from 21 to 19.
Here is the original webpage I got my initial information from. Rest assured I will dig deeper into this but so far this has me very excited and saying "Way To Go Missouri!!!"
