I have posted this before, but I want everyone to know. If you open carry in unincorporated St. Louis County, you are going to jail, permit or not. I just spent a good deal speaking with a Lt. about this the other day and I have discussed this with several other higher ranking officers in the St. Louis County Police Department and they will give you a ride while you wear handcuffs to be charged with having a gun on someone else's property without having their written permission.
As for the list, it seems to be correct according to the ordinances, but speaking with police chiefs and captains in some of those municipalities, they will arrest you for a disturbance charge and in Webster Groves case, "assault" on whomever called the police on you.

Here is the hunting law you speek of
9.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.
Sooo..
Welcome to LEO intimidation 101. If you are seeking Open Carry advice from LEOs you will get nothing but propaganda and threats. I have encountered LEOs while OC in and around St Louis Co 14 times. The law that the county LT is quoting does not discriminate against OC or CCW. If wrongfully arrested there are repercussions that the city/county can face. It is well documented what transpires on arresting an OCer in an area that has no specific law against it. I often make pubic my OC activities high profile to help people see that is and can be done.
