Missouri Lawmakers not accepting the premise

Post by bignflnut »

...that RKBA is a privilege in public.
The Missourian reports that HB 630 would remove numerous “gun-free zones” around the state, including those in “child care centers, public universities and churches.” This means child care workers with concealed carry permits would be able to have a gun at hand to protect children, permit holders would be able to keep a gun with them on campus to defend their lives and the lives of fellow students, and church-goers could be armed to fend off an attack during church services around the state.

State Rep. Nick Schroer (R-O’Fallon) is sponsoring legislation that would hold “gun-free” businesses liable if a customer in the business suffers harm in a situation where they could have defended themselves with a gun. He said, “This policy of making places gun-free provides a sense of safety to those who engage in magical thinking. These killers are not stopped by a sign on the front door.”

Schroer said businesses that advertise their gun-free status with signage highlight “the dangerous condition we talk about when we talk about premises liability.”
“It’s not that we don’t have enough scoundrels to curse; it’s that we don’t have enough good men to curse them.”–G.K. Chesterton-Illustrated London News, 3-14-1908
