Missouri House not giving info on gun database access

The Missouri House is not planning to give Gov. Jay Nixon’s administration data related to an attempted access of the list of gun permit holders.

The Office of Administration requested computer logs last week after a House computer was used to access a secure website containing the gun data. The House computer used credentials the state had previously provided to a federal agent.

House Speaker Tim Jones says the attempted access was part of an investigation into the Nixon administration. House Clerk Adam Crumbliss sent a letter to the Nixon administration Monday that says releasing the House computer data could compromise the ongoing investigation.

Commissioner of Administration Doug Nelson says the access was unauthorized because the information on the website had been intended for use by law enforcement.
