These include:
- Shooting a firearm within 100 yards of a school, church, or court.
- Taking a firearm into a school or other educational facility, church, or court.
- Displaying a firearm or deadly weapon in a threatening manner.
- Shooting a firearm across a highway, into a building, or from a moving vehicle.

Missouri Gun Laws
When it comes to firearms, open carry and concealed carry are legal in Missouri for adults aged 19 and older (or 18 for members of the military). Missouri law does not specifically state that you do or do not need a permit to carry a firearm, but local authorities can restrict concealed carry in certain buildings. Missouri is also a “stand your ground” state, which means that gun owners can defend themselves in or outside of their homes and properties. They are not required to retreat before using deadly force to defend themselves.
