Wrap: Senate Appropriations Chairman Kurt Schaefer wants to let county sheriffs take over the entire process of obtaining a conceal-carry permit.
Currently, sheriffs process the applications and permit-holders then receive a Photo ID from the Department of Revenue.
But Schaefer says un-elected bureaucrats in state agencies shattered the public's trust by sharing this information with federal agencies.

| Description: "I think a lot of what we are now having to do as elected representatives and senators is go back and patch that up and rebuild that integrity that never should have jeopardized in the first place." | |
Governor Jay Nixon said the Department of Revenue will no longer scan or keep documents needed to obtain a conceal-carry, but Schaefer says directly-elected sheriffs can do a better job with the process.
