I live in Missouri

Before you begin your Assignment, take some time to complete the Documenting your Research Activity, which will explore the different types of documents used to communicate your legal research and the basic format of a memo.

Assignment Introduction:

During a recent visit, Ms. Maya Weste, a current client of the firm, expressed an interest in carrying a concealed handgun in your state. She has never operated a firearm before, but she has recently become concerned about her personal safety. She was divorced three months ago after her husband discovered she had been cheating on him with another man. He did not handle the situation well. He never physically abused her, but he has been very angry with her. He has recently made some statements like “you’ll get what’s coming to you someday!” that could be considered vague threats. She is afraid that his anger will build to the point where he might try to cause her physical harm. She is not interested in obtaining a restraining order because she feels that it is just “a useless piece of paper.” She tells you that in any case, “it is better to be safe than sorry, and a handgun levels the playing field if he tries to do anything stupid.” Ms. Weste has no criminal record and has no prior mental illness. She would like to purchase and carry a handgun for her own protection.
