Concealed Carry Reciprocity

Missouri's concealed carry law provides recognition of concealed weapons endorsements from every state that issues them. Below is a map and a list showing which states recognize Missouri concealed-carry endorsements.

Weapons laws in different states can and do have different definitions and restrictions. Because of those differences, Missourians who have CCW endorsements and are planning to carry concealed weapons while traveling in and through the states that now recognize Missouri endorsements may still want to contact law enforcement authorities in those states to clarify any specific questions.
