How does the Highway patrol have more weapon permits data/ccw info
than the Missouri feds?

Isn't that chronologically backwards.....something like our Firearms
Act standing?

Although, that DL thing doesn't sound too bad, especially, with the
E-DL on the Drivers License.
What I don't like, is the fact that if you took a prescribed pill,
you are "diagnosed" with a mental disorder.

We have all sorts of those punk Mental Health workers crawling all
over, trying to snag you into a Mental Health "you are with the program"
mentality.....and therefore if you don't act like a mind controlled robot
with the street experience of a Nun, you would be considered with a mental
disorder and your Sovereign rights taken away.
