That is precisely the situation that got my friend a citation in STL City. He lives just outside of Sullivan and they commonly carry rifles and shotguns in the rear window rack of their pickup trucks in those rural areas. Well, as luck would have it, he had his .22 rifle in his rack when he left his home and headed for STL to conduct some business. He made it all the way down to Union Blvd. before he was pulled over, detained, and issued a citation. As I recall, they did not take the firearm or arrest him, but he did end up paying a $100 fine as a result. That's been about 3 years ago now, so it's possible that STL is now enforcing that ordinance differently.

The biggest problem you seem to be having is in distinguishing the difference between what constitutes a "concealed" condition, versus what constitutes a "open" condition. You seem hell bent on calling a pistol, strapped to your waist, while you are in your vehicle "openly carried", yet it is not. That gun is concealed from outside view, and it is considered to be concealed. On the dashboard or in the rear window rack, on the other hand, would be considered "openly carried" and that is where you would/could run into problems in jurisdictions that have ordinances restricting open carry. You see, "open carry" actually has nothing to do with where a firearm is carried on or about your person, but everything to do with whether or not it is visible to a casual observer.so it seems that Cshoff is telling all of us that if we were to carry upon our person a sidearm in our vehicle in an open fashion, in say for instance Ste. Genevieve (which has an ordinance prohibiting OC), that we would be breaking the law.
is that right dude?
or is it that the same mode of carry in the same town in the same vehicle is considered CC? if that is the case then I would be breaking the law since i don't hold a CC permit.
