Missouri Legislature Overrides Governor Nixon's Veto of Senate Bill 656, Pro-Gun Self-Defense Legislation

Today, Governor Nixon's veto of pro-gun self-defense legislation, Senate Bill 656, was overridden by the Missouri General Assembly. With this historic override, Senate Bill 656 will go into law allowing Missourians to carry a firearm for self-defense without a permit beginning on January 1, 2017, in addition to other important self-defense measures.

Sponsored by state Senator Brian Munzlinger (R-18) and state Representative Eric Burlison, (R-133) SB 656 would:

Recognize Missourians right to Constitutional/Permitless Carry
Create Stand your Ground laws
Expand Castle Doctrine protections for anyone legally allowed into your home, vehicle, business and property
Implement 10, 20 and 50 year options for non-reciprocity issued permits
Allow components of firearm training for RTC permits to be online

Thank you to the NRA members and Second Amendment supporters who contacted their legislators in support of Senate Bill 656 during the regular and override session. Special thanks to those legislators who continuously voted in support of Senate Bill 656 to protect Missourians' right to defend themselves and their families.

    Constitutional carry in Missouri, who'd a thunk it?

    Used to be fairly draconian there, from what I understand. Good news!
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain

    That gov was just trying to protect his pet voting block. you know the preditory disadvantaged minorities. Someone should tell him this group does not vote. They rob the houses of those who do vote while out voting.

    Maybe they should move to an all absentee system?

    I will still maintain a permit for the states that require one to carry into their state.
