Way to go Missouri!
This puts you on the short list of states to move to if things go south (so to speak) in Ohio.
;)
Only if you bring some Amish with you.
Stay away from StL and KC. Otherwise, welcome aboard.
Moved here the first time in ‘93 for Engr Officer courses, liked it but it then had bad gun laws compared to AL, FL etc. Permit from Sherriff to purchase handguns, no CCW, but “peaceable journey” provision. Then came back in late 90s, things began to move, then back again in 2002 and got involved in CCW activism, got that passed i n 2004, through MO Supreme Court in 2005, then permit to purchase died in 2008 ( I finally bought a new handgun soon thereafter), Finally permitless carry in 2017, removal of records from central state bureaucrats in 2013 ( no, LE does not know if a MO driver has a CCW license), SYG, Castle DOC trine, suppressors for hunting, preemption, range protection, 2A defense, state const amendment in 2015ish, liberals heads explode with regularity thankfully, over the “lax and frightful weak gun laws in the state” ( I encourage to move far west or east ward...)
Of course, the crime occurs in liberal enclaves for the most part, as it should be, proving their ideas/policies won’t and don’t work.
I think MO has the best overall firearms climate in the nation, excepting maybe AK.
My best friend is originally from Port Townsend, moved to Seattle and lived there all his life except for a 6 ye stint in the Navy with me. Loves to hunt and fish, loves his guns, and Washington state was very conducive to that, all the way up to the 90s, when Californicators moved there to hook up with a fellow leftist, Bill Gates. It has gone to shit since then. Long story short, a lifetime Washingtonian moved to Missouri. Loving it. Lower cost of living, beautiful Ozarks, and 2nd amendment heaven.
