MissouriansAreDeniedRight-to-CarryProtection ATTENTIONMISSOURI 44 States Respect Citizens’ Right-to-Carry for Self-Protection

NRAMEMBERS: This spring, the Governors of Colorado, Minnesota and New Mexico signed “Right-to-Carry” legislation for the benefit of the law-abiding citizens of their states, recognizing that law enforcement cannot always stop violent criminals. The citizens of 44 states now have the protection afforded by a Right-to-Carry law, but Missouri residents are still being denied that fundamental right, all because of one man—Governor Bob Holden.

Missouri’s Legislature Respects Law-Abiding Citizens — Why Doesn’t Its Governor? MISSOURIANS This year the Missouri General Assembly 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 veto has stopped Missourians from being able to protect themselves and their families outside the home, and allowed St. Louis AREDENIED and other Missouri cities to continue to sue gun manufactures for the acts of criminals who misuse their products. Holden’s Anti-Gun Views

Bob Holden says, "I have a philosophical problem with conceal and carry," (Associated Press, May 2, 2003) The fact of the matter is, Bob Holden has a problem with the Second Amendment. Since his run for governor in 2000, RIGHT-TO-CARRY Holden has maintained an “F” rating with NRA — no Missouri politician scores a lower grade. Holden thinks the way to get re-elected in 2004 is by vetoing your ability to protect yourself and your family, while protecting the anti-gun lobby’s “junk” lawsuits against the firearms industry. PROTECTION! Forward Thinking Founders Give Legislature Veto Override Powers 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 consider Holden’s wrongful actions, and before then, they need to hear from you!
