Found a link on Missouri Carry and really enjoyed reading some of the posts here. I am on the Beretta forum, Cast Boolits, and the Pulaski County Web. Totally Pro 2A and interested in open carry.

The only time I have done it was by accident. Went to Hi-Boy's at Blue Ridge and 40 in the KC area on the way home from visiting my Mom, who lives on the NorthEast side, and had it on under my shirt. Took the shirt off and went back inside. No comments or raised brows.

Anyway looking forward to participating. Thanks....

Welcome, and good luck exploring your 2A rights a little further - but maybe do it with a shirt from now on...

Chalk up one more new guy.
Just learned about this site last night, but I'm interested in participating in anything that protects our 2A rights.
However, I live in Florissant and I understand OC is a big no-no here.

Welcome! Always glad to have one more strong 2A activist!

BTW: Where do you come by this understanding?

I understand it's perfectly legal with a CCW.

http://codes.sullivanpublications.com/codes-slp/

Florissant Municipal Code

Per the Muni code for Florissant. It is only legal to OC if you have a CCW. I do and in the past few months I have spent hours and hours Open Carrying in Florissant.

Welcome new folks! I live in Summersville on the south end of Texas County thinking of having a open carry meet in the next couple of weeks?

Thanks, guys.
Maybe I saw an earlier version of that chart (or maybe my eyes were crossed so Florissant appeared to be in the wrong column).

Anyway, I've had my CC for about 18 months so it looks like I'm legal.

P.S.
Maybe the wrong forum to ask, but does anyone know of someone local who makes custom leather holsters?
