My wife and I were doing some shopping today at Less Summit Wallmart,we had about finished,we were there about1 hour,and 3 individuals walked up and informed me that I couldnt do THAT.I asked what THAT was,and was told by Brandon,the new person in charge of security I was told,that I couldnt carry a gun like that in Wallmart,I asked and whys that,he told me that only officers of the law could carry open,one of his helpers with him chimed in and said that you had to be concealed to carry.I informed them that they were mistaken,asked if Wallmart had a no firearm sign posted,he said he believed they did,I said let go take a look....No firearm sign posted.I them informed the 3 that it wasnt against missouri law to open carry,you dont have to be a officer to open carry,and Lees Summit has no ordinance againstopen carry,and it was my right to open carry and I was not in violation of any state or city laws.I told them it was the stores right to put up a no firearm sign if thats what they wanted to do,but had no sign posted.I told him i would put my weapon in my cargo pocket in my jeans,and continue shopping he said that would be good enough.He appologized about no knowing the applicable laws concearning carrying a weapon,I told him no big deal,but know what your trying to enforce before you need to.He told me he would find out what exactly the laws were concearning open carrying,and call me and tell me what he found out.I got home called the coorporate office ,made a report,and was told i could expect a phone call within 3 days about the matter.I will inform you of the results....
