Missouri has no proactive duty to inform, but a permit holder must carry the permit whenever carrying concealed and display it with a photo ID at the request of any peace officer (RSMo 571.121.1); noncompliance is expressly noncriminal, with a citation of up to $35. The duty attaches only to permit holders — Missouri permitless carriers have no duty to inform or to display.
