Will changes in Missouri’s Conceal and Carry Gun law impact public safety? The controversy over the law continues despite the Missouri Legislature’s successful override of Governor Jay Nixon’s veto of the bill (Senate Bill 656).
Beginning January 1, 2017, the new statute eliminates the current requirements for a permit issued by a local sheriff or county police department and the 8 hour gun safety course. Permits and the course will still be available and anyone who needs to carry a concealed gun into another state will need the permit. |

| I realize the constitutional problems with mandated training to carry a firearm. However, many problems await, possibly a backlash resulting in renewed gun control, when the training goes to the wayside. Wise citizens should insist on strong incentives for armed individuals to be trained. |

If challenged, the prohibition on licensed carry on public transportation will be found unconstitutional under 14th Amendment equal protection guarantees.
Someone should start that ball rolling. |

TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
