Missouri Governor Jay Nixon isn’t saying yet whether he’ll veto a sweeping expansion of gun rights passed by lawmakers. Nixon said Friday (5/13) that he will give the measure a comprehensive review. Nixon’s comments came after lawmakers passed the bill on the last day of the 2016 session. The measure would allow most people to carry concealed guns without a permit and create a “stand your ground” right for people to defend themselves with no duty to retreat. |

If passed by a veto proof majority, a veto might be only a delaying tactic in MO:
" If the Governor returns a bill with his objections after adjournment sine die, the General Assembly is automatically reconvened on the first Wednesday following the second Monday in September for a period not to exceed ten days to consider vetoed bills. " |

TO REMEMBER |
| Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
