Mo. House OKs Bill Broadening Concealed Gun Rules
"Missouri House members have endorsed a bill allowing some legislative staff members to bring concealed guns into the state Capitol."
Great idea. "Disagree with me now, bitch!"
"The legislation would also lower Missouri's minimum age for getting a concealed-carry permit to 21. It's now 23."
"Lawmakers and local government officials who have permits currently can bring a concealed gun to meetings. The House approved an amendment Tuesday that expands that to cover lawmakers' staff. The provision was added to broader gun legislation."
I'm telling you, more and more guns is patently not a good idea.
This never ends well.

NBC says there are 6 million license holders. Do you think there is some sort of coverup, hiding all the times where we pull our guns when we weren't being threatened with violence?
Is there a rash of violence among 21 and 22 year old license holders in the 45+ states that let them get licenses?
Shouldn't there be solid facts before you restrict someone's rights?
Okay, you're really cracking me up now.
Who has spoken of "restricting someone's rights"?
I haven't.
What I talked about was leaving the laws as they were so that, hopefully, there are less guns taken into less situations and places.
You, on the other hand, seem to favor, all guns, in all places, at all times--just in case--like the NRA seems to also favor and promote.
I don't.

"I'm not talking about restricting their rights, I was talking about leaving laws the way they are--the back of the bus is perfectly fine".
I'm not a Wiccan, but I like their philosophy "If it harms none, do what you will". If your actions are not causing unjustified harm or risk to others, (hurt feelings doesn't count) they should be legal. I believe I am consistent with this, it should apply to guns, speech, sex, drugs, and just about everything else. Punching someone in the nose should be treated much more severely than walking past them carrying a gun, or selling them a bag of pot. And "because that's what the rules are now" isn't enough justification.
Staffers frequently drive long distances and park far from the capital building, and they often work late.
It doesn't make much sense to require that staffer to leave her gun in her car, effectively banning her from having a defensive weapon during the time it would be most useful to her — the long, late-night walk to her car.
I'm not an NRA member nor do I visit their website or read their publications, but I can assure you that the NRA doesn't espouse any such policy.
The NRA indeed favors reasonable restrictions.
Naturally, their idea of what constitutes "reasonable restrictions" is quite different from what, say, Handgun Control Inc., would view as "reasonable restrictions."
Just sayin.
Frankly, I wish they'd make it harder to get a driver's license. I've never had my life threatened by a person with a CCL, but I'm nearly killed by a moron in a car a few times a year.
