Who has the authority to issue a CCW permit in Missouri?

  1. The Missouri State Highway Patrol

  2. The Department of Public Safety

  3. The local county sheriff's office

  4. Missouri State Police

The correct answer is: The local county sheriff's office

Context In Missouri, the responsibility of issuing a CCW (concealed carry weapon) permit falls on the local county sheriff's office. The other options, including the Missouri State Highway Patrol, the Department of Public Safety, and the Missouri State Police, may seem like likely agencies to issue a CCW permit, but they do not have the authority to do so. It is important to remember that laws and procedures for obtaining a CCW permit may vary from state to state, so it is important to research and understand the specific guidelines in your state.
