A Missouri Appeal of a Denial of a Concealed Carry Permit is a legal appeal process for an individual who has been denied a license to carry a concealed weapon in the state of Missouri. This appeal process is available to individuals who have been denied a permit under the Missouri Department of Public Safety, Division of Fire Safety's Concealed Carry Permit Program. The appeal is heard before the Administrative Hearing Commission, which is an independent body in the state of Missouri that has the power to overturn a denial. There are two types of Missouri Appeal of a Denial of a Concealed Carry Permit: a de Nova appeal and an appeal by certification. A de Nova appeal is a full hearing on the merits of the case, where the individual can present new evidence and arguments to support their appeal. An appeal by certification is a review of the record and is limited to the evidence already presented. The individual does not have the opportunity to present new evidence in this type of appeal.
