Firearms cannot be carried onto school grounds whether loaded or unloaded in Missouri. This extends to school buses, and official school functions. There are firearm related courses and events that students can partake in at school. The student cannot carry a firearm onto a school bus, school premises, or into official school functions. The school board needs to have a clear written policy on the disciplinary measures that will be taken should a student violate these laws. Suspension must be a year or more, or the student must be expelled.
It is illegal to bring a firearm to polling areas on an election day.
