Jeff City Representative protecting events that never happen

I got an education about my own home state, Missouri, today when watching an edition of "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart", of all places, on Comedy Central.

It seems one Wanda Brown of the Missouri State House of Representatives introduced a bill making it illegal for an employer to fire someone for owning a firearm.

Yes, seriously:

HB 1621 - Missouri House of Representatives

"Specifies that it will be an unlawful employment practice to discriminate against an individual because he or she has a concealed carry endorsement or uses a firearm for a lawful purpose."

Wow.

I'm really glad she introduced that one.

I keep hearing that happening all over the state, haven't you?
