Do you by chance have a Facebook account ?

We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

Long time reader, first time poster.
Figured I'd share some of my experiences in my day to day life OC'ing.
All of my neighbors know I OC, as I have done so for the past 4-5 years here, and many of them generally ask what I carry.
The old lady who lives across from me actually told me she feels better knowing I do so.
As for the local establishments here, I generally get glances or looks.
I was asked not to enter The BP off of old 40 hwy, maybe 2 years ago.
Apparently my OC made the evening attendant scared, so the owner at the time asked me no to come back when I came there the following afternoon.
In day to day life I've been stopped by the local LEO's a few times, since I walk the short distance from my place to the gas station or dollar stores, and have been harassed. The last time I was stopped by one he gave me the riot act over carrying it till I requested a supervisor. Turns out the supervisor was well versed on the laws for OC'ing and promptly sent me on my way once he knew what was happening. (It was a long time ago but I think his name was Sgt. Johnson, or Davidson, can't remember. He was a stand up guy.)
If you have been to Odessa and seen a bald man OC'ing, chances are it was me.

Has anyone carried in Republic, MO? If so have you had any issues?
Maybe check out the people in the local shops - you never know.

Anywhere it is not posted you can carry, just remember you might get asked to leave. If they ask you to leave, you need to leave! Most businesses follow state or local laws, only problem with it is employees never know that.
To follow state law has always been a misnomer to me in that asking you to leave or prohibiting guns is also "following state law."
IMHO it is better to say that they "honor your rights under state law".

Training Classes
Do training classes taken in KS mean anything in MO? I would like to carry in both states since I work in one and live in the other. Also, I don't want to have to be without my firearm at any instance so when applicable, a CCW is a no brainer. My question is, does it matter what state I take any of my training in for it to be recognized in Missouri for CCW or any training for that matter?

Yes, your County sheriff must approve the trainer.

I believe neither KS or MO offer a non-resident permit, so you would have to get the one for the state which you live in. According to USACarry's CCW reciprocity map, both states honor the others' permits, so you should be fine with whichever one you get.

Thank you for your replies. Any recommendations in the K.C. area? (Missouri side)

I took my class at a range off 70 in Independance. Can't for the life of me remember the name of the range, but it was taught by a guy named Cisco (no joke, and not the rapper). Really good class.

I will look into it, thanks. The only place I know of in Independence is Crossfire/Armsmart, but that doesn't mean it's the only one. Thanks again!
Again, if you don't like throwing money away, make sure your choice is accepted by your County sheriff by checking with the sheriff. If they are not approved, it's worthless for your CCW endorsement.
