Yes. If you go to the top of the page for this forum you will see the banner with Concealed Carry Resources. When you put the pointer on it a drop box pops up. Click on Concealed Carry Maps. Then just click on the states that you have your permits in and you will see what states honor your permits!

Welcome to the forum. Most information related to this can be found at Handgunlaw.us.

From http://www.handgunlaw.us/states/missouri.pdf:

Missouri Honors Non-Resident Permits/Licenses From the States They Honor.

From http://www.handgunlaw.us/states/florida.pdf:

Permits/Licenses This State Honors ... Missouri ...

So, a resident of Missouri can carry a concealed firearm in Missouri with a valid Florida non-resident permit. This is not a legal advise. Consider looking up the corresponding state statutes: Link Removed

The actual statute is:
Link Removed

4. Subdivisions (1), (8), and (10) of subsection 1 of this section shall not apply to any person who has a valid concealed carry permit issued pursuant to sections 571.101 to 571.121, a valid concealed carry endorsement issued before August 28, 2013, or a valid permit or endorsement to carry concealed firearms issued by another state or political subdivision of another state.

However, be advised that only a Missouri permit will exempt you from the 1000' Federal School zone prohibition for schools located in Missouri (although nobody every pays any attention to that ridiculous Federal law - "law abiding" citizens or criminals.)

Good catch. I didn't think about the stupid Federal Gun-Free School Zones Act. Here is a clarification letter from the ATF and here is the actual 18 U.S. Code § 922, which states under (q)(2):

(A) It shall be unlawful for any individual knowingly to possess a firearm that has moved in or that otherwise affects interstate or foreign commerce at a place that the individual knows, or has reasonable cause to believe, is a school zone.
(B) Subparagraph (A) does not apply to the possession of a firearm—
(i) on private property not part of school grounds;
(ii) if the individual possessing the firearm is licensed to do so by the State in which the school zone is located or a political subdivision of the State, and the law of the State or political subdivision requires that, before an individual obtains such a license, the law enforcement authorities of the State or political subdivision verify that the individual is qualified under law to receive the license;
(iii) that is—
(I) not loaded; and
(II) in a locked container, or a locked firearms rack that is on a motor vehicle;
(iv) by an individual for use in a program approved by a school in the school zone;
(v) by an individual in accordance with a contract entered into between a school in the school zone and the individual or an employer of the individual;
(vi) by a law enforcement officer acting in his or her official capacity; or
(vii) that is unloaded and is possessed by an individual while traversing school premises for the purpose of gaining access to public or private lands open to hunting, if the entry on school premises is authorized by school authorities.
