Missouri Concealed Carry Weapon (CCW) Practice Exam

A felony conviction would disqualify an individual from obtaining a CCW permit in Missouri because individuals convicted of a felony are prohibited by law from owning or possessing a firearm. Felonies are serious crimes that are typically punishable by imprisonment for more than one year. Therefore, individuals with felony convictions are considered a higher risk and are not permitted to have a CCW permit for public safety reasons.

On the other hand, misdemeanor DUI, traffic violations, and juvenile offenses do not result in an automatic disqualification for obtaining a CCW permit in Missouri. While these offenses may impact an individual's application and eligibility, they are not as severe as a felony conviction in terms of firearm possession restrictions.
