gun control

Two Republican Missouri lawmakers want to allow concealed carry of firearms on college campuses.

A recent Missouri constitutional amendment is being cited by felons who say it means they have the right to carry guns.

A University of Missouri associate law professor has filed a lawsuit challenging the university's ban on guns on campus.

Supporters of legislation that would nullify federal gun laws in Missouri say the measure is necessary to protect the rights of gun owners.

Legislation cracking down on Illinois gun crime could add to the state's prison crowding and cost hundreds of millions of dollars.

Missouri has backed away from a potential high-stakes fight with federal officials over a bill that sought to nullify certain U.S. gun-control laws.

Some Republicans in the Missouri House say a veto override appears likely for a high-profile gun bill, but the odds remain uncertain for a tax-cutting measure after a meeting of GOP lawmakers.

Illinois gun owners who fail to report the theft or loss of a weapon will face tougher restrictions under a new law signed by Gov. Pat Quinn.

Illinois has become the final state in the nation to allow people to carry concealed guns in public. State lawmakers have voted to override Governor Pat Quinn's veto of the legislation. Quinn had suggested changes to the measure and Senate President John Cullerton says the limits the governor recommended might be considered later.

Governor Pat Quinn has used his veto power to tweak the state's concealed carry measure. His changes limit the number of guns and bullets people can carry and ban guns from places where alcohol is served. Illinois faces a July 9th deadline for legalizing concealed carry. Lawmakers could still vote to override Quinn's changes.
