What must an individual do if they are stopped by law enforcement while carrying a concealed firearm in Missouri?

  1. Immediately hand the firearm to the officer

  2. Declare that they are carrying a concealed firearm

  3. Nothing, unless specifically asked

  4. Hide the firearm from view

The correct answer is: Declare that they are carrying a concealed firearm

If an individual is stopped by law enforcement while carrying a concealed firearm in Missouri, they must declare that they are carrying a concealed firearm. This is because Missouri has a "duty to inform" law that requires individuals to disclose the possession of a concealed firearm to law enforcement upon being stopped or detained. Option A is incorrect because an individual should never hand over their firearm to an officer unless specifically instructed to do so. Option C is incorrect because, even though it is not required by law, it is in the best interest of the individual to disclose the possession of a concealed firearm to avoid any misunderstanding or potential escalation of the situation. Option D is incorrect because an individual should never hide a firearm from view, as this can be perceived as a threat to law enforcement and can potentially result in dangerous consequences.
