Since 2017, Missouri permits permitless concealed carry for individuals aged 19 and older who are legally allowed to possess a handgun. Open carry is legal but subject to local regulations. The Jackson County Sheriff issues concealed carry permits in three-year, five-year, and lifetime terms, beneficial for reciprocity and certain location exemptions. Restrictions apply in schools, courthouses, police stations, polling places, bars, and posted private properties. Missouri law mandates leaving a premises when requested by the owner, and refusal may constitute trespass.
The Missouri Department of Conservation oversees a firearms deer season starting in mid-November, preceded by archery from mid-September and followed by late antlerless and alternative methods seasons extending into January. During the firearms season, centerfire rifles, shotguns, muzzleloaders, handguns, and archery equipment are permitted. Permits are available over the counter, antler point restrictions are in place in many counties, and chronic wasting disease management zones enforce mandatory sampling and carcass movement rules in certain areas. Consult the latest MDC regulations for your county.
The Missouri Department of Conservation operates two staffed ranges near Kansas City: Lake City in eastern Jackson County and Parma Woods in Platte County.
Hunters in Kansas City pursue game in farmlands and conservation areas to the east, while the Lake City range near Buckner is among the state's most active public shooting venues.
The public ranges on the city pages are run or listed by the state wildlife agency, a state forest or a national forest, chosen by distance from each city. Licenses, passes and hours are the agency's; some public ranges restrict rapid fire or large-format pistols, so read the rules.
