Missouri Concealed Carry Weapon (CCW) Practice Exam

In Missouri, the first step in appealing a denied CCW permit application is to request a hearing with the department that issued the denial. This allows you the opportunity to present your case and any supporting evidence as to why you believe your application should be approved. It is essential to follow the process outlined by the issuing department to have the best chance of reversing the denial. Contacting the Governor's office or filing a lawsuit in federal court are not typically the initial steps in the appeals process for a denied CCW permit application. Writing a letter of appeal to the local sheriff may not be as formal or effective as requesting a formal hearing with the issuing department.
