CCWs are no longer mandated in Missouri.
Never have been “ mandated”, but required by law. Yes, I know we all have issues with infringement, so do as you will. Here in MO, having a license makes carry, open or concealed a non-issue with regard to prohibited places. Yes, those restrictions that can get a non-licensee a prison stay, make so doing for a licensee a non issue unless one is just an ass and violates other laws.
Permitless carry, while regarded by many as the solution, does not provide the same liberty as a license. Whether we agree or not, a closed record, non- crime prohibitions, and the professional courtesy aspect has made many a carrier happy. Plus, reciprocity. I would like to think all constitutional carry states recognize that same immunity for all other states residents, but I don’t know.
