MO SJR36

Repeals section 23 of article I of the Missouri Constitution and replaces it with new language governing the right to keep and bear arms.

Establishes that citizens have the right to keep and bear arms, ammunition, and accessories typical to normal firearm function for defense of home, person, family, and property, or when lawfully summoned to aid the civil power.

Declares the right to keep and bear arms as unalienable and requires all restrictions on these rights to be subject to strict scrutiny, with the state obligated to uphold and protect the right against infringement.

Permits the general assembly to enact laws limiting firearm rights for convicted violent felons and individuals adjudicated by court to be a danger to self or others due to mental disorder or mental infirmity.

Removes the language stating "but this shall not justify the wearing of concealed weapons" from the original constitutional provision.

Submits the amendment to Missouri voters at the November 2014 general election with the ballot question asking if the state constitution should be amended to declare the right to keep and bear arms as unalienable.
