Missouri Law & Concealed Carry (CCW)

Confident. Compliant. Carry Ready.

At Base Outfitters, we believe that responsible gun ownership starts with education and legal awareness. That’s why our Missouri Concealed Carry Weapon (CCW) classes are designed to do more than just check a box—we empower you with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to carry legally and safely in the state of Missouri.

Missouri CCW Law Overview

Missouri is a permitless carry state, which means law-abiding citizens over the age of 19 (18 for military) can legally carry a concealed firearm without a permit.

However, there are still many legal advantages to obtaining a CCW permit, including:

Reciprocity: Carry legally in other states that honor Missouri’s CCW permit

Background check bypass: Easier firearm purchases through NICS exemptions

Clarity in law enforcement encounters,

Expanded carry options in restricted locations like schools and public transportation (with proper authorization)

Knowing where and when you can legally carry is critical to avoiding criminal charges, even for honest mistakes.
