| Description: "I believe that every Missourian has been a potential victim of a violation of their rights of privacy, and I'm wondering how far this might go." | |
The Missouri Highway Patrol says the entire list of every Missourian with a permit to carry a concealed weapon has been sent to the federal government at least twice, which Jones says is a violation of state law.
Jones says that Attorney General Chris Koster has a responsibility to respond to the allegations as the state's chief law enforcement officer.
A spokeswoman for Koster says he doesn't have a comment yet.

| Description: "Folks this is not partisan. This is not political. its about privacy, its about protection, and it's about people's rights." | |
That's House Speaker Tim Jones speaking in front of Attorney General Chris Koster's office.
Jones is calling on Koster to open a formal investigation after a recent discovery that a list containing every Missourian with a permit to carry a concealed weapon has been sent to the federal government at least twice.
Jones says it would violate a state privacy statute passed in 2009 to prevent the state from complying with a federal ID act.
Jones says its time Koster and Governor Jay Nixon come forward to respond to the controversy.
A spokeswoman for Koster says he doesn't have a comment yet.
