Missouri C carry does any one know if u can get it with out going to the class if your Military?

Take the class. Even if it's not required.

I'm a veteran. I took the class while I was still enlisted, and benefitted from it. There are a lot of key differences between handling a firearm as a civilian vs handling one as a soldier.

Part of the class will be your State Laws concerning not only CC but engagement and your rights. Best to educate with the most information you can. Might have to use it some day. As for your DD214, SC/FLA took mine in lieu of a mandatory Firearms safety course.

Good info....My entire family went to class at different stages before we got our CCW -- even our son who is in the military also took two classes before he got his CCW. Because he was a gun nut, my only advice to him before he left for his first class is to tone down his attitude while there and go with the flow instead of being the know-it-all-intelligent-arrogant-in-the-pants that he think he is.

And I quote, "Apply to the Sheriff of the county you reside in. You must take a training class."

There is no waiver for previous or current military service.

From the Missouri Law:

Firearms training requirements--safety instructor requirements--penalty for violations.

I was just asking because i know florida has if been in the military you can take it later.

Some of the people that i have met that most needed to take a class were ex-military. Not all military personnel are familiar with weapons safety. A lot are, but not enough to go around giving our fighting men and women a pass from training. I believe that they should be given a discount (in some states they already do). Thank you for your service and I am grateful for all of you... but go take the class.

I work with a guy who is retired special forces. He got his MO CC permit with no class as they considered him a firearm expert. It did take the full 45 days for the sherrif to issue his permit from time of application. I assume this was to verify his military training status. Mine was processed in 10 days with the class.

While some military MOS might qualify as a firearms proficiency, I don't see how current or prior service would provide the legal/ethical portion of the CCW class. I took the class when first offered with a friend who had military and prior police training. Both of us were fully proficient with various firearms but even the former police officer was not versed on the legalities of civilian concealed carry.
