The federal agent who requested and received information on all of Missouri's concealed gun permit holders told state lawmakers today that he never accessed the information but his goal was to find people who had been fraudulently receiving Social Security benefits.

"This was all preliminary," said Keith Schilb, an investigator in the Social Security Administration's Office of the Inspector General. "I investigate and I find people who have falsely made disability claims to the government."
