I'm 55 and have been open carrying for 5 years with no issues. I recently was asked by a young man the minimum age to open carry,
but as it never was an issue for me, I never paid much attention to threads about the subject and don't have the time to sift through a few hundred posts.
I read that CCW is now 19, what is legal for open carry in Missouri? 18?

Thanks,
Todd

The maps on the opencarry.org home page are a quick resource for many question like this too as are the state specific info pages:
http://www.opencarry.org/?page_id=139
http://www.opencarry.org/?page_id=263

I just mention it as some newer members who found the forum may not know about the additional resources on the home page.


ETA: correct grammar error
The Missouri cite need updated. The constitution has drastically changed for the better. And the change nullified many of the statutes on the books.

19 is a prudent age. 18 if you ain't driving and/or in a liberal enclave that has outlawed OC w/o a endorsement. Get a endorsement and call it a day.
