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 |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
