Since January 1, 2017, Missouri residents who can legally possess a firearm may carry concealed without a permit from age 19 (18 for members of the armed forces). Many carriers still get a Missouri concealed carry permit from the Laclede County Sheriff, because it is honored in more states and speeds up some purchases. The permit requires a firearms safety course of at least 8 hours with live fire. Private property owners, schools and some public buildings can still prohibit carry, so check the posted rules.
