Turning 19 in 3 weeks. I plan on getting my CCW as soon as possible. I have open carried since June, any advice for a new comer to concealed carry?

Welcome to OCDO, which stands for OPEN CARRY dot ORG. While you may find some discussion points regarding concealed carry on this board, it is not our forte'. You might get better advice from a concealed carry forum.
As one bit of advice, however, I suggest you thoroughly investigate the firearms statutes regarding concealed carry in your home state, such as where you may carry concealed and where that is prohibited. Knowing the law is very important if you wish to remain free.
Thank you sir. I also have a lot of interesting OC stories too. I had someone request I post them, where is the appropriate thread for that
I can see that possibility, particularly in a state really just moving into that arena.Because I of my age, I tend to have more negative experiences than positive ones. While Missouri permits those 18 years of age or older to open carry a handgun or long gun, I may be the only 18 year old who actually does. Most of my experiences aren't pleasant but they are humorous.

Caution though - it is not a wise choice to "hold court" with authority on the street or on another's property. Best to leave as intact as possible and straighten it out from the comfort of your home or attorney's office.
Regarding stops by LE, after complying to any demands only to the limit of the law, one of my favorite attorneys advises us to KYBMS (Keep Your Big Mouth Shut) - don't say anything - it can be twisted to harm you.
Am I free to go?
Am I being detained? If Yes, you are under arrest.....KYBMS until your attorney arrives or you are released to leave, then contact your attorney.
You do carry a digital recorder do you not?

Aside from the occasional fellow civilian I run into whom is also OCing, it would seem that only LE is aware of the state OC laws.
Missouri just moved the CCW age to 19. Also, you can buy a handgun from a licensed dealer at 18, at the beginning of the year it was 21 but you could still possess a handgun and open carry at 18. Most people assumed you had to be 21 for OC which wasn't true. Aside from the occasional fellow civilian I run into whom is also OCing, it would seem that only LE is aware of the state OC laws.
