Supporters
Support for this measure was in part a response to the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act and other efforts make legal gun ownership more difficult.

After author/columnist John Ross made his attempts to convince Missouri legislators, other supporters also emerged. The NRA suggested the name Missourians for Personal Safety (MPS) for the 1999 Proposition B campaign with Steve McGhee as the Chairman. These combined efforts brought notoriety to Greg Jeffery, attorney Kevin Jamison, and Tim Oliver, to the forefront of their local/regional news media. As the Missouri Sport Shooting Association (MSSA), joined (unofficially) in support, they all proceeded with their regional campaigning attempts. Eventually, individuals heard of these volunteers/members and took up the task upon themselves to support the proposition with smaller meetings and neighborhood 'grass roots' action groups. John Ross was the name of: John Ross (naval officer) (18th C.), admiral of the British Royal Navy John Ross (Arctic explorer) (1777-1856), British naval officer John Ross (Cherokee chief) (1790-1866) John Ross (senator) (1818-1871), Canadian Senator John Ross (VC) (1822-1879), a Scottish corporal of the...

The Gateway Civil Liberties Alliance (GCLA) arose after the failure to pass the proposition in 1999; forming itself from MOLIC, MPS, and with WMSA giving support, to become the leadership and legislative clearing house for the 2003 success in passing a shall-issue law. Frequent trips to Jefferson City by Greg Jeffery (GCLA cofounder) earned him the nickname ‘braintrust’ to a newly created law that was adopted by Missouri in 2003.[3]

Ballot Language The ballot language that was approved by the General Assembly: "Shall state or local law enforcement agencies be authorized to issue permits to law-abiding citizens at least twenty-one years of age to carry concealed firearms outside their home for personal protection after having passed a state and federal criminal background check and having completed a firearms safety training course approved by the Missouri Department of Public Safety?" "The opposition conducted a poll of the ballot language which determined that 60% of the state would vote in favor of License to Carry. Outraged that the people might "speak wrong", the Governor's lawyer filed a suit with the Missouri Supreme Court to change the ballot language. The defendants in the suit were Attorney General Jay Nixon and State Auditor Claire McCaskill."[9] "Shall sheriffs, or in the case of St. Louis County, the chief of police, be required to issue permits to carry concealed firearms to citizens who apply if various statutory requirements are satisfied?" Because of the discretion given to local law enforcement to verify the accuracy of applications, the costs are uncertain. Application fees are estimated to cover most costs for the first three years. Subsequently, local governments, as a whole, may incur costs from $500,000 to $1,000,000 annually, not covered by fees."
