Not leagle here in MO. I'm not sure on the conceal carry permit though. I went thru the course, but have'nt got the permit yet because of the $100 it takes. But I don't remember anything in the course that would permit one to carry while bowhunting. MO. huntingregs specificly states that a firearm is prohibited while hunting with a bow. Wonder if walking to and from the stand would be considered hunting?
