A proposal to prohibit minors from carrying firearms in public without adult supervision was defeated by a vote of 104-39 in the Missouri House of Representatives.

The Republican-led state congress voted on Feb. 8 against banning minors from openly carrying firearms, with only one Republican voting in favor of the ban.
