Question: do you need a license to conceal carry in missouri

Answer: No, In September 2016, another Senate bill coincidentally numbered SB 656 was passed allowing permitless concealed carry by anyone 19 years of age or older who may lawfully own a gun. This bill was also vetoed by Governor Nixon, on June 27, 2016. After the Missouri legislature reconvened for the veto-override session on September 14, 2016, the Senate voted to override the veto with a 24 -- 6 vote (23 required) and the House followed through shortly thereafter with a 112 -- 41 vote (109 required). The permitless carry provision of the bill went into effect on January 1, 2017.
