We’re down to the final days of the 2017 legislative session here in Jefferson City, with an adjournment expected this Friday.

Initially the 4pm committee hearing on HB630, our bill to repeal the dozens of deadly ‘Gun Free Zones’ in Missouri, was delayed until 7pm.

At 4pm today, the House General Laws Committee will be taking up HB 630, meaning you have time to contact the committee one last time! I hope you will, it’s urgent. This legislation would simply remove the dozens of deadly ‘Gun Free Zones’ that exist in Missouri code — the places where violent criminals almost always go to rack up a body count.
