Missouri Concealed Carry Weapon (CCW) Practice Exam

Under Missouri law, which of the following would disqualify an individual from obtaining a CCW permit?

1. Having a misdemeanor conviction for a non-violent crime

2. Being dishonorably discharged from the Armed Forces

3. Receiving a speeding ticket within the last year

4. All of the above

The correct answer is: Being dishonorably discharged from the Armed Forces

Dishonorable discharge from the Armed Forces is a major disqualifying factor for obtaining a CCW permit in Missouri. While the other options may raise concerns about the individual's behavior or character, they would not necessarily disqualify them from getting a CCW permit. A misdemeanor conviction for a non-violent crime may not affect an individual's ability to handle a weapon responsibly, and a speeding ticket is not indicative of violent or dangerous behavior. However, a dishonorable discharge from the Armed Forces implies a history of serious misconduct and a lack of respect for authority, making the individual a potential threat to public safety. Therefore, this is the only option that would disqualify an individual from obtaining a CCW permit in Missouri.
