Missourians: RE: the Override of SB656 To anyone that carries a weapon. This law now, clearly states, in plain language, what law enforcement can and cannot do, if they make a contact with you. and Here it is..........This act provides that the open carrying of a firearm may not be prohibited by a political subdivision for any person with a valid concealed carry endorsement or permit in his or her possession who presents such endorsement or permit upon the demand of a law enforcement officer. In addition, NO PERSON CARRYING A CONCEALED OR UNCONCEALED HANDGUN MAY BE DISARMED OR PHYSICALLY RESTRAINED BY A LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER UNLESS UNDER ARREST OR IF THERE IS NO REASONABLE AND ARTICULABLE SUSPICION OF CRIMINAL ACTIVITY ....... This means that they cannot take your weapon! Hopefully this will stop the harassment of law abiding citizens.... I suggest you carry a copy of this statute with you, in order to educate the police, because I am sure they will use the same old, officer safety argument to disarm you, and now the law says that are prohibited from doing that. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS!!!!!
