Missouri House Bill 866

[atm7819]

Missouri House Bill 866 has passed the House and is is being currently debated in Senate committees. It has a section in it regarding school carry.

It restricts carrying in "Any [higher education institution or] elementary or secondary school facility without the consent of [the governing body of the higher education institution or] a school official or the district school board. Possession of a firearm in a vehicle on the premises of any [higher education institution or] elementary or secondary school facility shall not be a criminal offense so long as the firearm is not removed from the vehicle or brandished while the vehicle is on the premises."

Would this allow teachers with a concealed carry license to keep a firearm in their vehicle on school property?

Sounds like it...if only FL could go THAT far, I would be somewhat satisfied. At least I'd have it to and from school.
I doubt it's going to happen...too many .

What do they mean by "higher education institution"? Is that High School or College?

Are you sure of the number, I looked it up and got this:
"Allows certain unsubstantiated complaints made against licensed social workers and physicians by certain sexually violent predators to be removed from the regulating entity's records "



As to the restrictions, they already can carry (provided not restricted as an employee), this would further restrict them (everyone). Does the bill recognize teachers as "officials" or just the Principal?
