Missouri Concealed Weapons

Law permitting carrying of concealed weapons does not violate Article 1, section 23 of the Missouri Constitution, but may violate the Hancock Amendment, Article X, Sections 16 and 21 of the Missouri Constitution, limitations on unfunded mandates. In fact, four counties to the suit presented evidence sufficient to show that they will be impacted financially by this legislation, and are excused from compliance with the conceal and carry law.
