The Missouri Legislature has claimed all gun right to thenselves but the various codes that apply seem to have a few loopholes that cities can use. No one will tell me what these looholes are . I have read RSMo 21.750 in full as well as the related codes and honestly can't see what Excelsior could have used to ban open carry. Look up 21.750 and read all of it and the related links and see for yourself.
Four councilmen passed this with no comment. A 4-0 vote to strip us of a State Right.
Here you go:
