Missouri bus riders and other public transportation users could bring guns with them under a bill advancing in the state House.
The Republican-led chamber gave the proposal initial approval in a voice vote Wednesday.
Currently, firearms and other dangerous weapons are not allowed on public transit.
The pending bill would allow people with concealed carry permits to bring guns on publicly funded transportation, which includes the Kansas City Streetcar and St. Louis buses. The bill wouldn’t allow guns on Amtrak trains. |

The fact that this right requires legislation to decriminalize it is ridiculous.
It's unbelievable that one cannot do so in Missouri already. |

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 |
