Missouri Veto Override - We Need Your Help!
"I have a philosophical problem with conceal and carry."
-- Governor Bob Holden
UPDATE 11/26/03
As you may know, St. Louis Circuit Judge Steven Ohmer recently issued a permanent injunction striking down the new law and the Missouri Supreme Court has set a January 22 date to hear the appeal. For more information click here.
This year the Missouri Legislature passed Right-to-Carry (HB 349) and Frivolous Lawsuit Preemption (SB 13) with overwhelming support from both parties. Yet, Governor Bob Holden vetoed both bills. Holden’s vetoes have stopped Missourians from being able to protect themselves and their families outside the home, and allowed St. Louis and other Missouri cities to continue to sue gun manufactures for the acts of criminals who misuse their products.
Regardless of Holden’s anti-gun antics, Missouri’s Constitution allows the legislature to override a governor’s veto. On September 10-11, 2003, the Legislature will take action to override Holden’s vetoes, and before then, they need to hear from you!
