Missouri CCW Law amended to allow in more common places?

Now I was taught that you can't carry in certain places in my CCW course namely the list in the law. I got that.

I was taught no carry in churches (unless ok'd by the pastor and board) and schools. And this concerned me as I'm a school bus driver and a ministry leader at my church.

Now I got my CHP back in October and my course in early August and there was nothing about carrying on a bus but about 3 weeks later, there it was, subsection 10 on section 1 of MO 571.030.

(1) Carries concealed upon or about his or her person a knife, a firearm, a blackjack or any other weapon readily capable of lethal use; or

(8) Carries a firearm or any other weapon readily capable of lethal use into any church or place where people have assembled for worship, or into any election precinct on any election day, or into any building owned or occupied by any agency of the federal government, state government, or political subdivision thereof; or

(10) Carries a firearm, whether loaded or unloaded, or any other weapon readily capable of lethal use into any school, onto any school bus, or onto the premises of any function or activity sponsored or sanctioned by school officials or the district school board.

Now I failed to read further until tonight. Section 4 of MO 571.030

4. Subdivisions (1), (8), and (10) of subsection 1 of this section shall not apply to any person who has a valid concealed carry endorsement issued pursuant to sections 571.101 to 571.121 or a valid permit or endorsement to carry concealed firearms issued by another state or political subdivision of another state.

Now go read the entire thing here: Section 571-030 Unlawful use of weapons--exceptions--pe

And tell me what you think, y'all.
Does it make you legal to carry in the church, polling place, or school with a legal CCW permit? If so, Missouri just became the coolest place to have a CHP

I went and read the whole thing and it sure reads that way. But I just took my CCW last month and the instructor pointed out that we could not carry in schools but that we could carry in our vehicles on school property.

But the law sure makes it look like you can.

That's what I was taught.
Like I said, to me, it seemed as if the law changed sometime from when I took the course to now.
I'm confused!

Oh wow, I need to look up more about the MO CCW Law.

Section 563-041 Use of physical force in defense of pro

Section 563.041 reads like this:
Use of physical force in defense of property.
563.041. 1. A person may, subject to the limitations of subsection 2, use physical force upon another person when and to the extent that he or she reasonably believes it necessary to prevent what he or she reasonably believes to be the commission or attempted commission by such person of stealing, property damage or tampering in any degree.

2. A person may use deadly force under circumstances described in subsection 1 only when such use of deadly force is authorized under other sections of this chapter.

3. The justification afforded by this section extends to the use of physical restraint as protective force provided that the actor takes all reasonable measures to terminate the restraint as soon as it is reasonable to do so.

4. The defendant shall have the burden of injecting the issue of justification under this section.

Reading that I think it states that we can now use lethal force to protect our property?

Not that I would ever raise a firearm to keep someone from taking my car. Let them have it. Now if he turned and I thought my or my family's life in danger - different story.
All this seemed to be added on Aug. 28, 09.

And what did subsection 1 say in regards to using lethal force rather than simply physical force. The link didn't give that section.

I believe that part means that if someone invades your home, you don't have to run, you can defend yourself, according to what my instructor told us.

Lesson learned: Stay on top of changes to the law...do not rely on hearsay. In VA we have the VCDL who helps keep gun owners (members) informed of proposed changes to the laws to help us better inform our state representatives on how they should vote.

Be sure to bookmark your state laws relevant to gun laws...

goab, it's not often I'll use one website to reccommend another, but in this case they go hand in hand.

I've been there and I find it a confusing website and I am a website designer.
I mean it's not a bad website just hard to navigate.

I also searched there and found nothing to this end.

But I will try to look there more often.

Here is a link to a thread on Church Carry from Mo Carry forum dated mid Dec that may help you.

Missouri Carry Forums

It is my understanding that you still need premission to carry from Pastor or someone of authority in the Church. But there is a bill up for review this year to maybe change that somewhat.

Missouri does not issue a Permit or CHP. Instead, A Certificate of qualification for a concealed carry endorsement is issued by the sheriff or his designee of the county or city in which the applicant resides, a CCW.
(1) Carries concealed upon or about his or her person a knife, a firearm, a blackjack or any other weapon readily capable of lethal use; or

(8) Carries a firearm or any other weapon readily capable of lethal use into any church or place where people have assembled for worship, or into any election precinct on any election day, or into any building owned or occupied by any agency of the federal government, state government, or political subdivision thereof; or

(10) Carries a firearm, whether loaded or unloaded, or any other weapon readily capable of lethal use into any school, onto any school bus, or onto the premises of any function or activity sponsored or sanctioned by school officials or the district school board.

You will notice some differences.

Missouri state law may allow concealed carry by exception (10) of the revised statue where a local government may not.
The most stringent law in effect will always apply.

Not so. 21.750 creates a primacy of state law over local:

Quote:

(1) The general assembly hereby occupies
and preempts the entire field of legislation
touching in any way firearms, components,
ammunition and supplies to the complete
exclusion of any order, ordinance or regulation
by any political subdivision of this state. Any
existing or future orders, ordinances or
regulations in this field are hereby and shall be
null and void except as provided in subsection 3
of this section.
(2) No county, city, town, village, municipality,
or other political subdivision of this state shall
adopt any order, ordinance or regulation
concerning in any way the sale, purchase,
purchase delay, transfer, ownership, use,
keeping, possession, bearing, transportation,
licensing, permit, registration, taxation other than
sales and compensating use taxes or other
controls on firearms, components, ammunition,
and supplies except as provided in subsection 3
of this section.

Subsection 3, however, provides for regulation of open carry - and open carry only - on a local level:

Quote:

(3) Nothing contained in this section shall
prohibit any ordinance of any political
subdivision which conforms exactly with any of
the provisions of sections 571.010 to 571.070,
RSMo, with appropriate penalty provisions, or
which regulates the open carrying of firearms
readily capable of lethal use or the discharge of
firearms within a jurisdiction, provided such
ordinance complies with the provisions ofsection 252.243, RSMo.

This preemption was a sticking point in getting concealed carry passed in Missouri. Without it, right to carry would be effectively useless, especially in metropolitan areas like Kansas City and St. Louis where you can pass through 3 different jurisdictions just to get groceries.

Tell it to the judge Joe. That was part of my point in posting such a lengthy reply. I have listed two examples of current law, state and a city amendment. I did not list what other counties require.
I don't know too many NRA instructors who will not tell you that they had a hand in passing the current legislation. The fact is, judges lawyers and sometimes even LEO's attend CCW classes to get more insight of the law. Missouri no doubt has a very progressive CCW law in place.
Carrying on school property remains an issue. Board policy of schools prohibits carry most of the time even if allowed by state or local law.
This provision of the law has its own implications. It can and does lead to employees being fired.
I support 2A and am not anti-gun.
I just don't want to see some mis-guided person think that they can carry where they cannot and get fired by being ignorant of the subtle differences between state and local law.

oh and then we have this one:
Section 571-107 Endorsement does not authorize conceale
Which is the trump? So when and where can we carry? Arrrg?
Why does the law have to always be somewhat confusing?
