Where else is my Missouri Concealed Carry endorsement valid?
A map and a list showing which states recognize Missouri concealed-carry endorsements can be found at the Missouri Attorney General’s website.

Weapons laws in different states can and do have different definitions and restrictions. Because of those differences, Missourians who have CCW endorsements and are planning to carry concealed weapons while traveling in and through the states that now recognize Missouri endorsements may still want to contact law enforcement authorities in those states to clarify any specific questions.
