Wednesday will mark the final showdown between Democratic Gov. Jay Nixon and Republican legislators, as lawmakers return to the Missouri Capitol to consider overriding the governor’s vetoes. The marquee fight will come on a bill eliminating training and permit requirements to carry a concealed gun in public and another that mandates that voters show a government-issued photo ID before casting a ballot.

| Nuts. Training benefits many aspects and everyone involved, yet mandating such skirts "infringing" 2A rights. Require a $25-$40 fee for the permit but waive said fee with receipt for having taken the class. Taxpayers pick up the tab for the permit paper work and responsible gun owners take responsibility for being trained. Lowers the controversy level, comes closer to the win-win idea. |

TO REMEMBER |
| For, in principle, there is no difference between a law prohibiting the wearing of concealed arms, and a law forbidding the wearing such as are exposed; and if the former be unconstitutional, the latter must be so likewise. But it should not be forgotten, that it is not only a part of the right that is secured by the constitution; it is the right entire and complete, as it existed at the adoption of the constitution; and if any portion of that right be impaired, immaterial how small the part may be, and immaterial the order of time at which it be done, it is equally forbidden by the constitution. [Bliss vs. Commonwealth, 12 Ky. (2 Litt.) 90, at 92, and 93, 13 Am. Dec. 251 (1822) |
