The Missouri Legislature on Wednesday sent Gov. Jay Nixon (D) a bill which would declare federal gun regulations unenforceable, according to the Associated Press.
The Missouri House voted 118-36 in favor of the measure on Wednesday. The state’s Senate passed the bill last month.
From the AP:
In addition to declaring federal gun laws unenforceable, the bill would allow concealed weapons to be carried by designated school personnel in school buildings. It would allow appointed “protection officers” to carry concealed weapons as long as they have a valid permit and register with the state Department of Public Safety. The officers would also be required to complete a training course.
The bill would also allow people with a firearms permit to openly carry weapons less than 16 inches in length even in localities that prohibit open-carry of firearms.
