Effective January 1-2017
Missouri residents will be able to concealed carry a firearm without a permit. They also expanded the rights to defend yourself in your own home. One such new law, would allow for instances such as, you and the wife had hired a baby sitter while you went to a movie. While you were gone, thugs tried to break into your house, the baby sitter now under the new laws, could use lethal force to protect your family in your absence.

Good for Missouri. I've never gotten a concealed carry permit because I disagree with the fact that it's required to begin with.

I have never concealed carried. May only do it on occasion, even after the law takes effect. The best thing is that thugs now will always wonder, who has a gun, and who does not.

Ditto. How in the hell did we ever implement laws that didn't allow for anyone to protect themselves? That should never have happened in the first place.
The concept of leaving a baby sitter at your home with your children and being at the mercy of anyone who decides to do them harm is beyond stupid. 'Stupid' probably isn't a strong enough word but the best I can come up with this morning!

That, to me, is the biggest deterrent. Cowards and thugs don't like risk or consequences.Corjack wrote:The best thing is that thugs now will always wonder, who has a gun, and who does not.
Living over here, it'll never be an option. Not that my wife or kids would ever considering carrying a gun anyway, but I'd like them to have the option and no-one thinking of doing them harm to know whether they were or not.....

Re: Effective January 1-2017
I've carried concealed almost all my life, and I've never used my gun to protect myself, but I have used it to intervene on the behalf of others. To me that is the really strong point for carrying concealed. It enables you to come to the aid of others rather than look the other way. Bad guys really don't like it when someone steps in and stops them from preying on the weak and defenseless. They are cowards and generally offer little or no resistance once they encounter someone stronger.

Two very good decisions. Keep a light on in that tent for me.

She could change by diapers!!!
That's a long time coming for Missouri. Good for them.
I carry concealed all the time, well almost all the time. You never know when an opportunity might arise!

It doesn't matter what you shoot as long as you shoot

Re: Effective January 1-2017
I have been carrying a shield and a service pistol for over 20 years....it is a very rare day when I don't have a sidearm somewhere on my person on duty or off. Our department doesn't require off duty carry, but it is my personal policy. It is also my belief that anyone who is not some sadistic maggot with a felony background and is mentally sound should be able to carry what they want whereever they want, be it a .25 auto in a sock or 10mm auto on the hip. Good to hear Missouri moved that bill into law! Kinda nuts when you have that there, but in certain other states just buying a handgun is like pulling teeth from a live bear...
"That if you properly respect what you are after, and shoot it cleanly and on the animal’s terrain, if you imprison in your mind all the wonder of the day from sky to smell to breeze to flowers—then you have not merely killed an animal. You have lent immortality to a beast you have killed because you loved him and wanted him forever so that you could always recapture the day." —R.Ruark
