What is the legal definition of 'concealed' in Missouri's CCW laws?
Hidden from common observation
Covered by clothing
Not visible to the naked eye without detailed inspection
Carried in a manner that is not observable to the average person
The correct answer is: Hidden from common observation
'Concealed' in Missouri's CCW laws refers to the weapon being hidden from common observation, meaning that it is not easily visible to others. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they all suggest a level of visibility that goes beyond what is considered 'concealed' by the state's laws. Option B specifically refers to the weapon being covered by clothing, which may still make it visible to others. Option C mentions not being visible to the naked eye, but the key term in the legal definition is 'common observation.' Option D mentions being carried in a manner that is not observable to the average person, which again suggests a level of visibility that goes beyond what is considered 'concealed' in Missouri's CCW laws.
