Concealed gun case may hit high court in February

Friday, November 14, 2003
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. -- Attorneys who successfully challenged Missouri's new concealed guns law have asked the state Supreme Court to hear appeal arguments no sooner than Feb. 9 -- at least two months later than the expedited schedule sought by the state attorney general.

In a filing Thursday with the state's highest court, the plaintiff's attorneys said they expected as many as seven points to be raised on appeal -- many by themselves -- and needed time to prepare their case.

Attorney General Jay Nixon had suggested the Supreme Court hear arguments on Dec. 3.
