How do I lawfully carry a handgun on a motorcycle in Missouri?

Question

I do not have a concealed carry endorsement and will be traveling soon. In a car I can pack it concealed in the vehicle. Can I pack it in a backpack on the back seat?

Answer 1

You CAN'T legally carry a concealed weapon in a car without a permit.  In MOST states, you can't legally carry a VISIBLE weapon that is accessible from inside the car without a permit.  Unless the gun is secured in a LOCKED compartment, I am certain you would NOT be carrying legally.  You can always ask the local POLICE to be sure.
