Missouri Governor Jay Nixon on Friday vetoed a bill that would have called on the state to prosecute federal officials who attempt to enforce federal gun laws in Missouri and prohibit publication of the names of people owning guns.
Nixon also signed into law a bill allowing state employees to keep guns in state vehicles they use for work or on state property and permitting fire chiefs to carry concealed weapons.
