Unconstitutional ?

Short answer, yes, a permit (endorsement) is a infringement and uncostitutional. Even though the penalty is "only" $35 for not having one it is a prior restraint on the peaceful exercise of our RKBA. The permit is also a fee to exercise a enumerated right, to avoid the prior restraint, and as such it too is unconstitutional. The exercise of our right in some political subdivisions makes the crime (penalty) far more severe and as such is a infringement and unconstitutional. The state of MO continues to permit these infringements because they generate revenue for the political subdivisions...and lawyers.

As to that yelling fire thing...there is no government imposed prior restraint on you yelling fire, but the penalty for yelling fire, even in a empty theater, exists. Your 1A is not infringed so go ahead and yell fire, your freedom after the yelling is (will be) infringed.

because they generate revenue for the political subdivisions

Thats exactly where they are fighting it, the permits arent really needed, its just the governments way of "controlling"

I kind of just read the initial post and the first reply and skipped the rest, as I believe a simple answer could have been given to it..

the 2nd gives the right to keep and bear arms, how the individual keeps said arms ( openly or concealed) is up to the individual. Oc or concealed will all bear them for the purpose of defense if needed.
