Duty to carry permit
If someone has a Missouri lifetime or extended concealed carry permit, they need to keep it on them whenever they are carrying a hidden gun. If a police officer asks to see it, the person must show both the permit and a photo ID from a state or federal government. Not doing this is not a crime, but the person can be given a ticket with a fine of up to $35.
