Missouri Senate OVERRIDES Governor’s Veto of Pro-Gun Bill, Expands Open Carry & Guns in Schools

Via Rd Conner

 Missouri Capitol

The Missouri legislature has thrown Democratic Governor Jay Nixon’s veto of a pro-gun bill back in his face.

Late yesterday, the legislature, who met in a special session, voted to override the governor’s veto of SB656.

The vote by the state senate was a fairly one sided 23-8, largely along party lines. We don’t have the House vote total yet, but it had to be at least a 2/3 majority.

  1. Dang! You mean to tell me that there are some politicians somewhere that are really growing a pair?

  2. while we are on this subject, can anyone tell me what constitutes "concealing" a weapon? What I mean is, does the entire pistol have to be in plain view to be considered open carry or is it concealed if some portion of it is hidden. If I carry
    my pistol in my waist band with the grip exposed is it concealed?

      As far as I know, the weapon must be100% in view or 100% hidden. It's possible that sharp eyes could catch a glimpse of the butt of my CCW, so I asked a cop who stated it would not be a violation since there was open carry in NC and I had a CCW permit also.

  3. Ok thanks, that answers my question... I think. Since I don't yet have a
    CCW I guess I'm not sure what I might run into if it's partially concealed.
    For example if the holster gets partially covered by my shirt or jacket or
    if I used an inside the waste band holster with most but not all of the pistol
    sticking up above my belt. CH

    1. I would keep it completely concealed, if I were you. Also, you can get a CCW through the mail from Florida and you can use you DD214 for the class. Another beenie is if a newspaper decides to publish the names, you wouldn't be local. What state are you in?
