They better have asked the Sheriffs first. While I agree with holding one of the agencies heavily accountable, this ain't the way. I hope MO has very untouchable shall-issue criteria because alot of states who've worked hard to get one (vs. "may issue") would never go back to local county fiefdoms. This was looked at here also prior to the shall-issue law being passed and the Sheriff's, frankly, said they wanted nothing to do with it. They've got plenty on their plate as it is. Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. Just draw some clean
hot water... maybe poach some bureaucrats, then over toast, light salt & pepper.
My $.02, YMMV.
