Nixon’s veto making Missouri the 11th state to have constitutional carry for firearms. According to local reports, the Republican-led Legislature enacted the law Wednesday by a 24-6 Senate vote and a 112-41 vote in the House. Both houses met the two-thirds majority needed to override Democratic Gov. Jay Nixon’s veto. The legislation will allow law abiding citizens to carry concealed guns without needing a permit.
