My name is Taylor and I am a member of the MO National Guard. I just turned 20 and I was given a pistol as a gift from my father as a wedding gift when I got married in april at 19. It is a Springfield XD 9mm, I have a holster for it and for two of my four magazines. My magazine sizes are two 16 and two 10 round mags. Based on my research of the laws I am allowed to open carry in Joplin and while driving, except where their are posted signs and school areas and such. I would not have a magazine in the gun or a round in the chamber. It would stay in my holster, the same with my magazines, they would stay in their holster. Their aren't any problems with this is their? I can legally do this correct?

The "ONLY" way to carry a firearm is with one in the chamber, otherwise it is no better then a club. There are NO restrictions in Misoouri in that regard.

Agree 100%...My thoughts are that if you are not comfortable carry a loaded weapon, carry is not for you.

Ack! I need more advance notice! I have an hour and a half drive to Joplin! My best friend lives over there, so I wouldn't mind driving in sometime, I just need a week or so to plan it. :/

I have 2-4 friends near Neosho who want to start going to the Joplin OC meet-ups.
