The Missouri Senate has JUST NOW OVERRIDDEN GOV. BOB HOLDEN'S VETO OF LICENSE-TO-CARRY, by the narrow margin of 23 to 11!
23 votes were required to override, and we barely made it -- but we made it.
We were helped out in key swing votes by Senator Jon Dolan, who flew in from military duty in Cuba for this and the abortion override vote, and also by Senator Michael Gibbons, who voted against the original bill. No one knew until today how Senator Gibbons would cast his vote.
These are certainly not the only Senators who deserve to be thanked. Senator Harold Caskey, Democrat Senator from District 31, has swum against the tide of many of his colleagues to provide tremendous, courageous leadership in this issue. Senators Peter Kinder and Sarah Steelman also come to mind as prominent supporters. And those who passed the override in the House deserve to be thanked as well, because without them we would never have reached this point.

Major congrats. Hopefully, the "shot" will be heard here in Wisconsin, where our CCW bill is currently under debate.

Well, it is a shot over the bow to those that think they can continue to deny us our constitution and rights.
Whoopie!

Does the Missouri bill contain the same BEE-ESS language like the MInnesota bill does, where anyone under the sun can use the "The Premises BANS guns" sign to keep law abiding CCW'ers out.

But then, it always has been and always will be because therer are MANY out there who would like nothing better than to enslave as many people as possible.

Carry small and keep quiet. No one will be the wiser and you will be protected.

Is it a done deal or does the House have to vote?
