Under Missouri law, weapons charges appear in Chapter 571 of the Missouri Revised Statutes. Specifically, unlawful use of weapons is found in Section 571.030. There, the law states that a person is guilty of the crime of unlawful use of a weapon if her or she knowingly does one of a lengthy list of things.
These can include:
-- carrying a concealed weapon, such as a gun or knife
-- shooting a gun into a any structure used for assembling people;
-- displaying a deadly weapon in a threatening manner
-- possessing a potentially lethal weapon while intoxicated and handling it in a negligent manner
-- shooting a firearm within 100 yards of any occupied school, court or church;
-- shooting a firearm across or along a public highway;
-- carrying a firearm or other deadly weapon into a church where people have gathered to worship, into a precinct on election day or into any government building;
-- shooting a firearm at any person or other structure while in a moving vehicle; and finally,
-- taking a firearm, whether loaded or not, into a school or other school facility.
