Missouri gun owners turn to other states for carry permits

Some residents of Missouri have discovered that just because they are legally entitled to a gun permit doesn’t mean their state will issue them one.

“We found permits in other states were cheaper, lasted longer and were honored by more states,” said Mike Anderson, who lives in Jefferson County and can legally carry a gun in Missouri on his Utah permit. “I don’t see any motivation at all for getting a Missouri permit.”

I’m waiting for the day when I can carry my pistol in any state, without fear of being legally persecuted for responsibly exercising my right to self-defense.
