Castle Doctrine Call Out

2 May 2007

After yesterday's largest pro-gun vote in the history of the Missouri Legislature, 154-6, HCS SCS SB62, the Castle Doctrine bill, is now back in the Senate. It is the first item on the today's (5/2/07) SENATE BILLS WITH HOUSE AMENDMENTS Calender. Time is of the essence. see: http://www.senate.mo.gov/07info/pdf-cal/cal.htm Now is the time to call, email and write your Senator, along with the bill's sponsor Senator Goodman. Tell them/him you appreciated their vote (except Sen Justice and Bray) for Castle Doctrine earlier this year. Say that the changes made in the House only make the bill stronger and better for victims of violent crimes by protecting victims no matter where they are attacked. The additional changes made in the House repeal the Permit to Acquire a handgun, replacing it with the Federal NICS (Insta-check) system. Another change requires the MULES (MO Uniform Law Enforcement System) to report those adjudicated mentally incompetent to the MO Highway Patrol and NICS database in order to keep people who can/have caused harm to themselves or others from buying a gun. In addition, the changes allow peace officers and corrections officers to use the training they already have to fulfill the training requirement for a MO concealed carry permit. Most of these changes have already been before the Senate in individual bills and have been approved by a large majority of Senators. Ask your Senator and Senator Goodman for an *up or down vote* on Castle Doctrine in the Senate. Ask them to *vote yes* to support your rights and victims rights throughout the state of Missouri. Time is short and this is the surest way of passing a strong Castle Doctrine bill this year.
