He's got his fingers in everything else, it seems...Him as Speaker of the House is one reason I have not contacted my local legislator about trying to change some of the 'boiler plate' language in the list of prohibited places we have (i.e.-churches, parks, my kids' schools). I digress

Thanks Missouri, makes my traveling easier

What are you talking about? Billy McCoy had nothing to do with this other than sitting in the legislature when the original law was passed years ago. He is not the attorney general. Jim Hood has been attorney general for the past 5 years. Prior to that it was Mike Moore for 12 years.

IIRC, Billy McCoy wasn't even speaker when the bill passed. The previous speaker was Tim Ford.

Again, the legislature doesn't make the determination. It's made by the DPS and the attorney general.

If you do the research, you'll find the concealed carry law hasn't been touched since it originally passed.

Whose more frightened of him? You or your representative?

You want changes, lean on your elected officials. They'll respond.

I wasn't aware of this...everything else in your post, I knew already.
