Missouri overrides veto; gun rights expanded

Thank you, that clears up my questions with the answers I was looking for. The concern over the loss of reciprocity was brought up by a gun store owner who, along with his wife, hosts a frrearms radio talk show in St. Louis. I was really looking for the facts because in the past this fellow has been the most anti-second amendment, supposed "supporter" of gun rights I have heard. It seems his idea of second amendment rights only go as far as what he can turn a profit on.
In addition to the states that were mentioned, I looked at reciprocity in Mississippi, Alabama, Georga, and Florida. States that I travel to, or through. I did not see anything in their laws about reciprocity with states that have CCW age under 21. So it seems that as I hoped the legislators that overrode Nixon's veto are smarter than me, and a lot smarter than the Schmoe on the Radio!:D
 
Reciprocity is a minor concern in the grand scheme. Meaningless to the vast majority. Sucks if you're one that it matters to but sometimes we have to take the best we can get.
 
The real problem with all reciprocity issues is that there are reciprocity issues. What needs to be addressed is the fundamental problem that (a) states require permits for the exercise of what is supposed to be a guaranteed "right" at all; and (b) states don't automatically and universally accept any and all permits/licenses issued by other states. To me this seems to be a blatant contravention of the "full faith and credit" provision in the Constitution.

Looking through the text of the bill, I noticed this:
The concealed
9 carry permit is valid throughout this state. Although the permit is
10 considered valid in the state, a person who fails to renew his or her
11 permit within five years from the date of issuance or renewal shall not
12 be eligible for an exception to a National Instant Criminal Background
13 Check under federal regulations currently codified under 27 CFR
14 478.102(d) relating to the transfer, sale, or delivery of firearms from
15 licensed dealers.

Whoa! This looks like Missourians with a CCW permit don't have to go through a NICS check:
(d) Exceptions to NICS check. The provisions of paragraph (a) of this section shall not apply if—
(1) The transferee has presented to the licensee a valid permit or license that—
(i) Allows the transferee to possess, acquire, or carry a firearm;
(ii) Was issued not more than 5 years earlier by the State in which the transfer is to take place; and
(iii) The law of the State provides that such a permit or license is to be issued only after an authorized government official has verified that the information available to such official does not indicate that possession of a firearm by the transferee would be in violation of Federal, State, or local law: Provided, That on and after November 30, 1998, the information available to such official includes the NICS;

Am I wrong?
 
I know some states do this, but was told there was something in the Missouri law that made the Fed Gumment not accept it from Missouri. Maybe this was put in to get that corrected.
I guess we'll find out in about a month when it all goes into effect.:D
