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.
Nixon, a Democrat, said the bill he vetoed was "unconstitutional" as it would nullify some federal gun laws and also infringe on rights of free speech by punishing anyone who published names of gun owners in Missouri.
Nixon noted that federal laws supersede state laws.
"In fact, under this bill, newspaper editors around the state that annually publish photos of proud young Missourians who harvest their first turkey or deer could be charged with a crime," Nixon said....""Mo. gov. vetoes bill that nullified fed gun laws" [link to news.yahoo.com]
