JEFFERSON CITY – The Missouri State Highway Patrol has twice turned over the entire list of Missouri concealed weapon permit holders to federal authorities, most recently in January, Sen. Kurt Schaefer said Wednesday.
Schaefer has been investigating a new driver licensing system. He and the committee grilled the revenue officials for several hours in the morning and again at midday before they admitted the list had been copied. The investigation was triggered by fears that concealed weapons data was being shared with federal authorities.
The list was given to the Social Security Administration Office of Inspector General, Schaefer said he was told.
“Apparently from what I understand, they wanted to match up anyone who had a mental diagnosis or disability with also having a concealed carry license,” Schaefer said. “What I am told is there is no written request for that information.”
“Now we know two things,” he said. “We know that somebody out there, probably in the federal government, wants the list of all the concealed carry holders in Missouri. We know that now.
“We know one other piece of information – we know the department is actively and purposefully concealing that information from us,” Schaaf said.

I just saw this on Drudge and came here to see if anybody had posted it yet. HEADS NEED TO ROLE! This was a violation of law by .gov officials and an example needs to be made!
We are so far down this slippery slope that any further transgression by .gov officials needs to be met with swift, harsh justice.
