In 2015, the Missouri Firearms Coalition (MOFC) was formed to address the state’s lack of Constitutional Carry and Stand-Your-Ground law.

With an overwhelming Republican majority in both chambers, it was surprising to Missourians that they were being ‘left behind’ as so many other states were advancing this legislation.

The Chairman of the Board for MOFC, Dr. Curt Frazier, knew that the Dorr Brothers were working on similar legislation in nearby Iowa, and asked them to assist in the fight that was brewing in Jefferson City.

Late in 2015, Aaron recruited then-State Representative Eric Burlison to carry this legislation for MOFC members, and H.B. 1408 was pre-filed on December 4, 2015.

Aaron and Chris immediately began whipping up support for this legislation in an effort to obtain cosponsors on the bill, both inside the legislature, and amongst gun owners across the state.
