Supporters of a bill that would allow Missourians to carry concealed guns forced the measure to Senate passage Friday by employing a rarely used procedure. After more than 11 hours of debate over two days, proponents voted to abruptly end debate, then passed the bill over objections from those who had been trying to block it. The Senate`s 23-7 vote returns the measure to the House, which passed a somewhat different version in March on a 108-33 vote.
