Missouri: Public Transit Self-Defense Eligible for House Floor

House Bill 1462, to ensure law-abiding citizens may carry firearms for self-defense on public transit, is now eligible for consideration on the House floor. Please contact your state representative and ask them to SUPPORT HB 1462.

House Bill 1462 removes the prohibition on law-abiding citizens carrying firearms for self-defense on public transit property and in vehicles. This bill repeals an arbitrary “gun-free zone” that does nothing to hinder criminals while leaving law-abiding citizens defenseless, and it ensures that citizens with varying commutes throughout their day, and of various economic means, are able to exercise their Second Amendment rights and defend themselves.

Again, please contact your state representative and ask them to SUPPORT HB 1462.
