SNIP
SUNDAY, September 27, 2009—Renaissance Ballroom
. . .
10:30a.m. Open Carry and Public, High Profile Events
NOTE: Unlike past conferences in Kentucky & North Carolina, OpenCarry.org will not host an open carry reception in a suite - unfortunately, while oen carry is legal n ousouri under state law, state preemption law only protects concealed crry from local ordiances - and in St. Louis County, where this conference is held, there is an ordiance requiring all gun carriers to get written permission of the owne of private premises to carry guns on suich premises - and as open carry is not potected by Mosouri preemtion law, then concealed carry appears to be the only practical and legal way to carry on private premises of the conference site.
Chapter 712 (THE FIREARMS CODE) of St Louis County. How weak is Missouri preemption anyway?
712.040 Specific Actions, Prohibited.—
…
It shall be unlawful for any person carrying a firearm to willfully enter or go upon the premises or property of another, or to fire or discharge any firearm while on the premises or property of another without first having obtained the written permission from the owner, lessee or person in charge of such premises or property, and unless such person has said written permission on his person. This section shall not apply to a person carrying, firing or discharging any firearm while in the immediate presence of the owner, lessee, or person in charge of the property or premises, or to the entry upon the premises for the sole purpose of obtaining the written permission of the owner, lessee or person in charge of the property.
