Gun Laws Changing? (Reducing minimum age for CCW in Missouri )

[davepc]

Missouri has the nation's oldest minimum age requirement for concealed weapons, but that soon could change.

Some state lawmakers want to lower the minimum age to 21, down from 23.

Of 48 states that have concealed carry laws, about two-thirds have set the age limit at 21 years.

Critics worry a change may compromise the agreement lawmakers made in 2003 when they set the minimum.

...

A loophole in the current law allows 21- and 22-year-olds to receive a concealed gun permit in Florida or Utah and have it recognized in Missouri.

As an aside, why does a story about concealed carry (which means handguns) have an attached photo of a rack of black rifles?

1. No idea

But I spy what looks like a saiga 12 from here. I would dearly love to have one but panic impulse buyers have caused a $50-150 price increase :(

Maybe an emotional trigger?
