I'm just reading threads from other states to see what is going on in the OC world. I'm in KY and we are a preemptive state: No city, town, municipality, urban county government body can make stronger rules/ordinances that are more strict than our state constitution. And our state gun laws say that OC is legal. Yes, there are exceptions: schools, government buildings, etc. I was wondering what the law is in MIss.? If anyone happens to be traveling through Lexington, KY PM me...

Welcome to OCDO!

You'll find that posts in the "stories from the states" section are pretty sporadic. However, that seems to be changing.

Due to Missouri's lack of preemption, OC is a crap shoot. Ever go to St. Louis? In some municipalities, you'd be just fine, others you'd be fine but get hassled by the cops anyway, and in a few you'd be arrested because of their ordinances.

Can you tell me where OC is legal and illegal in St. Louis?

Rather than navigate the minefield, I conceal it.

In places I know to be OC friendly, (or even unfriendly, but legal) I'll OC.

I live in BFE, but usually go to Troy or Bowling Green on the weekends to grocery shop/run errands. Been OC'ing for about two years in this area and word must have gotten around. After a couple of hassles about two years ago, I've had nothing but pleasant encounters with the local cops and sheriff deputies in this area.

I'm not going to try OC in Downtown St. Louis anytime soon.I'll be the one of the first,once Missouri passes full preemption.
