Frequently Asked Questions

Why does St. Louis Mayor Lyda Krewson want to force city residents to get gun permits?

Mayor Lyda Krewson has asked the governor to not apply Missouri's Constitutional Carry law in St. Louis. She stated her police department needs more tools to take guns off the street and believes a permit to carry is not a significant request.

What is Constitutional Carry and how does it differ from requiring a permit?

Constitutional Carry, also known as permitless carry, allows individuals to carry firearms without obtaining a government-issued permit. This contrasts with systems where a permit is required, often involving fees and background checks.

What are the legal arguments against charging fees for gun permits?

A key legal argument is that charging a fee for a constitutionally guaranteed right, such as the right to bear arms, may violate Supreme Court precedents. This suggests that the government cannot impose financial barriers to exercising fundamental rights.

Which states had Constitutional Carry as of summer 2019?

As of summer 2019, states with Constitutional Carry included Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Idaho (residents only), Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Mississippi, Missouri, New Hampshire, North Dakota (residents only), Oklahoma (effective Nov 1, 2019), South Dakota, Vermont, West Virginia, and Wyoming (residents only).
