Limited sales on Sunday? Why are blue laws still a thing?
Good question, Daniel.
A way to make extra money on licenses, I guess. Sunday license costs extra. Also to appease the fanatical Christians that are still somehow holding power.
I believe a Sunday liquor license allows the owner to sell packaged liquor (beer and wine) on Sunday, as well as the other days of the week.
In all actuality Missouri has some of the most liberal liquor laws in the country. Only Nevada has fewer restrictions.
But like others have said, fees. Sunday permits are extra.
