I sent an email to SP PD, about open carry and I still had some questions left over and was curious if you guys could help.

Is openly carrying a firearm(in this case a pistol visibility in a holster) in Springfield, Mo Legal? I was unable to find any City or County ordinance against it. Thank you.

It’s not prohibited by law to do so generally but there are many restrictions that you should be aware of in which a violation could rise to a criminal offense. For instance there are many public and private buildings/areas where there are restrictions against carrying – usually they are posted.
I looked up the restrictions however most of them where about Buses, Bars, Government Buildings, Schools, Day cares etc.. I didn't see anything about Opening carry while inside your a vehicle. Nor anything about having it in your glove box as you drive though a College campus(I have to drive on the other edge of a college to and from work ever day)Ohh and one more thing. Has anyone ever bought packaged Alcohol while OC? Any tips and advice is appreciated. Thanks
