River City Firearms Training

MissouriCarry isn't a training company—it's a directory that connects shooters with qualified instructors across the entire state. For over 20 years, they've maintained listings of NRA-certified trainers, organized by region, so you can find a course near you without guessing.

MissouriCarry doesn't teach courses themselves. Instead, they provide free listings for instructors who want to be found. You search by region, get the instructor's contact info and pricing, then reach out directly to schedule. Simple.

"An armed society is a polite society" — MissouriCarry's core principle

Most 8-hour CCW courses include:

• •Classroom instruction on Missouri deadly force laws and permit qualifications
• •Firearms & ammunition provided (though you can bring your own)
• •Eye and ear protection included or available
• •Range qualification to meet permit requirements
• •Lunch & refreshments in many courses
• •Course materials & targets provided

Costs typically range from $50 (legal portion only) to $125 (full 8-hour course with range). Group discounts available in most cases.

MissouriCarry runs a free registration forum where gun owners ask questions and get real answers from community members. It's moderated with clear rules: respect required, no hate speech, no multi-accounting. Posts cover everything from carry laws to gear questions.

MissouriCarry provides listings as a courtesy, not an endorsement. Information accuracy isn't guaranteed. Contact trainers directly—don't rely solely on the directory for current pricing or availability.

Beyond training listings, MissouriCarry provides:

• •Permit application information — what you need to apply
• •Training requirements — hours, qualifications
• •Carry area restrictions — where you can and can't carry in Missouri
• •Interstate reciprocity — which states recognize Missouri CCW permits
• •Instructor certification requirements — how to become a trainer

If you need a Missouri CCW permit, you need 8 hours of training from a certified instructor. Instead of hunting through the internet, MissouriCarry centralizes dozens of options by region, with instructor contact info and pricing up front. No marketing fluff, no guessing—just a list of qualified trainers ready to teach.
