I was checking out the Grain Valley Municipal code, specifically the section on weapons. These codes are dated June 10, 2013. Just curious if subsection A, subparagraph 1 can override federal laws. I do not have a CCW yet, but planned on getting one soon. Also, this code doesn't state you cannot OC, only mentions that part about concealed weapons. What does everybody think, anybody had problems with OC in Grain Valley? Thanks
