SB 0083 authorizing permits for concealed carry was introduced on the first day of the pre-filing period for legislation to be considered in the upcoming 2003 session. Senator John Cauthorn from Mexico Missouri is the sponsor of a bill that combines parts of bills passed by both the house and the senate last year. Manuvering at the end of the year kept it from coming up for a vote in the senate. This combination of bills will hopefully make house-senate conferences on the bill move faster.

The republicans hold an even greater majority in the senate and have taken over the house also. There is enough power to override a veto from the govenor, if he should choose to do so.

I just got off the phone with the senator's office (he is the senator from my district), and they have assured me they are committed to getting it passed this year.

Now is the time for all Missourians who want the RKBA, to contact your state senator and representative and let them know you are behind this legislation. :D
 
Good luck, Rickstir. We'll be starting soon here in Wisconsin, with a similar politcal landscape.

Wouldn't it be great to have 2003 be a "two-fer" for concealed carry?!
 
I still won't buy HallMark cards because of their contributions to the anti's in the defeat of the concealed carry effort in 98'.
 
We are gearing up also.....

New Jersey has had a CCW bill held up in the Law and Public Safety Committee. .Assembly Bill A2014 (Shall-Issue Concealed Gun Carry) has been held up since 1997.:banghead:

We are starting up a group in NJ to push for it in 2003. Visit us at:

If you live in my state, GET INVOLVED! :scrutiny:
 
Make it a 4 seater. Missouri will pass, and so will Minnesota (with a friendly governor). Now that leaves Wisconsin and Ohio, and it looks like Ohio pro-CCW folks may not be willing to make deals with the governor anymore over the issue.

Sure hope you're right, Lonnie.
 
Monte--

Besides the big city socialists in St Louis and KC...there was a lot of conspiriatorial rumors.
I know for a fact that several polls closed around KC several hours before they should have. The excuse was they ran out of ballots. Um. Yeah, right. It was a big vote, but seriously. There was talk of a recount, but everyone knew the Govnar would have veto'd anyway.

I'm hoping it goes well this time. I need an excuse to buy a Ruger SP101... :evil:

Please push hard, so my son in St. Louis can get a carry permit. He works graveyard shifts and the parking lot isn't well lit.
 
David:

I'm doing my best from here in Oregon. I have friends there who would take advantage of the CCW permit procedure immediately.

I even gave a phone call over to Senator Cauthorn to voice my concerns over the language of the proposed statutes in regards to airports.

Hopefully, it'll pass.
 
Kansas

What about Kansas? Is there anyone there who would be willing to sue the state for their Rights like they have in Ohio? Here's the Kansas State Amendment: Kansas: The people have the right to bear arms for their defense and security; but standing armies, in time of peace, are dangerous to liberty, and shall not be tolerated, and the military shall be in strict subordination to the civil power. Bill of Rights, § 4 (enacted 1859, art. I, § 4).

Well Kansas doesn't have CCW. Probably if Missouri passes it, then Kansas will follow suit. Also, I would imagine that they'll have some kind of dual state thing since so many people live on one side and work on the other.


Now, Thinking back, not sure if it would be a ballot issue in Kansas like in MO. I was thinking that maybe last time it will simply be a modification of the existing law to reword it to allow concealed carry, since open carry is allowed.

Then again, I'm pretty sure MO allows open carry, but for some reason MO would need public vote...

The public vote in Missouri was some wild a$$ scheme. Would have worked if all the dead people didn't vote in St. Louis and Kansas City.

This will get done in the legislature, where the representatives and senators realize that despite the shanangans pulled in the election, most people in this state are demanding their RKBA rights.

Mood in the legislature is good, although there was an ill mannered statement about allowing it in some areas of the state and not others. That was quickly put down. There is some support for coupling the bill with a provision to require trigger locks on all gun purchases. Fine by me, just let me be able to carry and protect my family, my self, and my possesions.
 
That's the point I was trying to make until it was buried in the multiple pastes.

Three residents of Ohio were able to force the legislature of Ohio to consider a CCW because of the wording in their state constitution. The same type of wording is in the Kansas Constitution. All it takes is one person from Kansas to sue the state government on Civil Rights grounds and their "no ccw' state could go straight to a Vermont law.
 
CCW in Kansas is probably dead for 4 years, commie loving/Klinton groupy Sabelious (sp?) has to be dumpped first.
