Here's the post-dispatch article:
Holden vetoes House concealed gun measure
The part which my blood boiling is the quote from (St. Louis) Police Chief Joe Mokwa:
Apparently, what IS for the general public is to lay down and be robbed, killed, raped, etc. - because that is obviously a much better option.
I recommend that all Missourians contact their state representatives and senators. If they voted for HB349 originally, thank them for their past support and let them know their constituents are behind them to override Holden's veto this September. If they voted against HB349, then politely but firmly encourage them to add their support to overriding this veto. Then, mark your calendars and contact them again in early September, prior to the veto override session.
Finally, contact St. Louis' police chief Joe Mokwa and let him know that you do not appreciate the suggestion that citizens should resign themselves to be passive victims to crime.

I can tell you this: Confronting an armed criminal is not for the general public.
