Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon has vetoed a bill that would have let people carry concealed guns without a permit and expanded their right use weapons in self-defense.
Pursuant to SB75 which was signed by Governor Nixon, responsibility for issuing Conceal Carry Permits as well as renewal of Conceal Carry Permits will transfer from the Department of Revenue to local sheriffs on Aug. 28.
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — The Illinois House has rejected Gov. Pat Quinn's changes to legislation allowing the carrying of concealed guns on the deadline for action set by a federal court.
Sheriffs across Missouri are watching closely the recent developments from the hearings of the Senate Appropriations Committee concerning the Department of Revenue releasing information on carry conceal weapons permits issued by Sheriffs. This information has apparently been shared with the Social Security Administration Inspector General by the Missouri State Highway Patrol.
