🧵Daniel has incorrect information and automatically assumes I’m lying. This is because it never occurred to him that a woman might know more about Missouri gun laws than him. So, it’s time for a lesson. Gather ‘round. @MomsDemand #MoLeg

In 2007, Missouri repealed its permit to purchase law, which led to anywhere from 49 to 68 additional firearms deaths each year in over the following decade, according to Johns Hopkins researchers. missouriindependent.com/2021/10/31/whe…
Up until 2014, the minimum age to conceal carry in Missouri was 23. This changed in May of 2014. The Republican led general assembly lowered the age from 23 to 19. This was also the year MO Republicans pushed guns into our schools. news.stlpublicradio.org/government-pol…
In 2016, Missouri passed a “Stand Your Ground” law, which studies showed led to an 16% to 33% increase of firearm homicides over a 16-year period.

And now to 2017, which is when Missouri eliminated a minimum age to carry firearms in public. In 2017, Republicans repealed permit to carry. With that permit requirement gone, the 19-year-old age requirement went away as well. Even Sgt. Wall will tell you. stltoday.com/news/local/gov… 
This isn’t a new law. It has been this way in Missouri for almost 6 years now. You don’t need a permit to open carry in MO, therefore we have no minimum age. There is however an age requirement for a ccw permit, but that’s not required to open carry. Try to keep up, Daniel.
