State Supreme Court won't hear concealed guns case

The Associated Press

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. -- The Missouri Supreme Court won’t consider a challenge to a provision of the state’s concealed gun law. Without comment, the state’s highest court let stand a lower court's ruling that there's no absolute right to bear arms in Missouri.

The case focuses on whether people seeking permits to carry concealed guns must answer questions from county sheriffs about their criminal history or military service. Missouri's concealed-carry law lets sheriffs deny permits for various reasons -- including a discharge from the military "under dishonorable conditions."

The sheriff of St. Charles County filed an appeal after a circuit judge ordered him to grant a permit to a man whose military discharge the sheriff wanted to investigate further. A panel of the Missouri Court of Appeals this year overturned the order, ruling that the applicant had to answer the sheriff's questions fully.

The decision by the state Supreme Court essentially upholds the appeals court's decision.

Looks like this was a PTA case, not a Concealed carry case
