Missouri lawmakers passed yet another dangerous pro-gun law this year, daring Gov. Jay Nixon to veto it.
And he should do that, because this one would allow people to carry a concealed weapon — with no training and no permit.
Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker correctly says that’s preposterous.
“You must have training” to properly handle a gun that can kill others, she said in a recent interview.
Yes, you do, but that’s never been the mantra of the Missouri lawmakers who think the Second Amendment should allow people to carry a firearm anytime they want and almost anywhere. |

| That it works in many other states is evidence to the contrary. Of course, Mo. residents may not be as trustworthy. |

TO REMEMBER |
| The right of a citizen to bear arms, in lawful defense of himself or the State, is absolute. He does not derive it from the State government. It is one of the high powers" delegated directly to the citizen, and `is excepted out of the general powers of government.' A law cannot be passed to infringe upon or impair it, because it is above the law, and independent of the lawmaking power." [Cockrum v. State, 24 Tex. 394, at 401-402 (1859)] |
