Not Surprisingly, CCW Applications Down

As expected with the new Constitutional Carry law in effect in Missouri, the numbers of applications for permits are down. Camden County Sheriff Tony Helms says that’s not necessarily a good thing and he still recommends going through the proper training to get a permit which, in his opinion, removes a lot of doubt.

Helms adds that having a permit issued in Missouri does NOT guarantee being able to carry legally out-of-state, which is another reason going through training for a permit is a good thing whether required under the law now or not.
