Missouri House Votes to Lift Concealed Carry Ban
Lauren Stenzel (2009-04-09)
JEFFERSON CITY, MO (KBIA) - Republican Representative Brian Munzlinger sponsored an amendment that would allow people to carry and conceal guns on college campuses around the state. This measure alarmed many in the Missouri House of Representatives, but caused one to entertain everyone with his thoughts. Democratic Representative Chris Kelly explained his stance on guns being brought to fraternities, and dormitories around the state.

"College boys who round up 25 possums half drunk can do amazingly interesting things with fireworks, bottles of gasoline, with all kinds of interesting devices. Fraternity boys are a very inventive lot, let's make sure we give 'em guns to play with too."

Kelly believes that guns will be misused on college campuses, while Munzlinger believes that it will make campuses safer. The Missouri House adopted this amendment © Copyright 2010, KBIA
