Let me begin by making it clear, I am no stranger to firearm safety and shooting. As a teen, I had a friend who's dad had well over 100 guns. I mean seriously. When ya walked into the double-wide(yes, they fit the bill for being rednecks ;o) 1st thing you saw was a shotgun/rifle standing upright in 95% of the corners around every room. Pistols stripped down for cleaning on the coffee table, magazines of all types littered about. To make a long intro short, I fired many, many rounds, out there on their property.
I am now 34, live in Independence, and decided to buy a little pistol for protection and occasional plinking. After much reading online, I bought a Walther P22, knowing that it would most likely be picky on ammo.
1st time to the range, I shot the 100 rounds of Remington Gold Bullets I purchased at the time of the gun, and got a bag of 50 from the counter. Apparently they sell Federal for .22's at the range, and I loaded clip, shot, jam, clear, shoot, jam. Repeat for 5 rounds. I took the remaining rounds back to the nice lady, and purchased a 100 pack of CCI from the [other] gun store counter. I now know to avoid Federals, since all 100 Remingtons and all 100 CCI's shot with no issues whatsoever, even when unloading as fast as I possibly could. When cocked, the Walther's trigger is surprisingly light.
I have been reading the forums threads here(and watching videos) since I bought my pistol, and I really wanna make sure I'm perfectly clear on the local law...
So, is it perfectly legal for me to OC, without permit, and loaded, in Independence?
I do plan on taking the CCW class within the next month or so, but would like to open carry until then.
Thanks for all your help and valuable info!
