Republican members of the House Crime Prevention and Public Safety Committee removed the provision last week from crime legislation.
JEFFERSON CITY, Missouri — The state’s legislature refused to include a provision in a bill to fight crime that would prohibit unsupervised minors from carrying firearms in public areas unless they’re with someone 21-years-old or older.
Republican members of the House Crime Prevention and Public Safety Committee removed the provision last week from crime legislation that had been proposed by Republican Rep. Lane Roberts,. An effort to restore the language in the crime bill failed Thursday, 104-39, with only one Republican voting in favor.
Democratic Rep. Donna Baringer said police in her district asked for the change to stop “14-year-olds walking down the middle of the street in the city of St. Louis carrying AR-15s.” If you purchase a product or register for an account through one of the links on our site, we may receive compensation.
