Well isn't that a kick in the head?
(EDIT: I should have said that I'm here as a legal Alien )
My wife and I are just in the process of sorting out our eventual move to Missouri, so she called about getting the application's for CCW permit's so we can have all our duck's lined up in a row as it were.
Anyway, she had a conversation with an Officer from the Highway patrol, and was told under no circumstances would I be granted a permit to carry a concealed weapon because I am not a U.S Citizen. She should be fine, but I was out of luck.
It seems as though the Officer was very knowledgeable, he told her the chapter of the State Code where is state's plainly:
571.101. 1. All applicants for concealed carry endorsements issued pursuant to subsection 7 of this section must satisfy the requirements of sections 571.101 to 571.121.
If the said applicant can show qualification as provided by sections 571.101 to 571.121, the county or city sheriff shall issue a certificate of qualification for a concealed carry endorsement. Upon receipt of such certificate, the certificate holder shall apply for a driver's license or non driver's license with the director of revenue in order to obtain a concealed carry endorsement. Any person who has been issued a concealed carry endorsement on a driver's license or non driver's license and such endorsement or license has not been suspended, revoked, canceled, or denied may carry concealed firearms on or about his or her person or within a vehicle. A concealed carry endorsement shall be valid for a period of three years from the date of issuance or renewal. The concealed carry endorsement is valid throughout this state.
2. A certificate of qualification for a concealed carry endorsement issued pursuant to subsection 7 of this section shall be issued by the sheriff or his or her designee of the county or city in which the applicant resides, if the applicant:
(1) Is at least twenty-three years of age, is a citizen of the United States and either:
(a) Has assumed residency in this state; or
(b) Is a member of the armed forces stationed in Missouri, or the spouse of such member of the military;
So, Im wondering just how popular is Open carry in the Cape Girardeau area and surrounds?
