One aspect of gun ownership that is often confusing pertains to when you are allowed to carry your gun. Missouri’s laws allow people who have a permit to carry a concealed weapon to do so in a vehicle. They are allowed to carry their gun on properties that don’t permit guns as long as the gun remains in the vehicle and isn’t brandished from the vehicle.
