It turns out Jay Nixon has had more vetos overturned than all the other governors of Missouri combined, all the way back to 1820.
Thirteen vetos overturned in this current session.
Good. In low-income (and brains and work ethics) neighborhoods, one of the few things that actually DETERS crime is the threat of everyone from the Grandmas to the Forrest Gump halfwits pointing a gun BACK at you. I’m not the greatest fan of everyone packing heat ever - but the hard fact is that between a crime-loving culture and crooks having more rights than citizens and cops this is the best solution by far.
The other known deterrent is the knowledge of imminent, unavoidable and severe punishment. The US hasn’t had that for quite some time. So arm up and aim straight.

If only other states would do the same...
It sucks big time to be envious of the freedoms other US citizens possess. A small taste of being a slave to a slave master. In any case, CCW permits should be for felons on probation.
