Don't rely on the fact that you asked a cop. Go to city hall and look at the ordinance. Many cops do not know the law. I know this due to the fact that a local cop said he would arrest a man for OC. WhenI called the city prosecutor, he asked who had told me that and stated that if a person was arrested for OC that would be in violation of their rights.

I planned on talking to the Sheriff's department first, and then double checking at the courthouse.

Good idea. Always get names, date, badge# ect. Remember, even though you check at the court house (state statute or county ordinance)the city may be different. Also you can get an out of state concealed carry permit at an agedifferent than MOand MO will honor it

So, for the Open Carry, you don't need the Conceal and Carry permit do you?

Depends on the area. In my AO, Fair Grove requires a concealed carry permit to carry open, but Springfield does not. You can find most area ordinances here

or call the city hall in the area in question and ask them to read you the ordinance, or better yet, go look at them yourself and make copies.

Sec. 17-94. Firearms and other weapons; carrying, exhibiting, selling to minors, exceptions. (a)It shall be unlawful for any person(s) to carry concealed on or about his person a dangerous or deadly weapon of any kind or description; nor shall any person or persons enter into any church or place where people have assembled for religious worship, or into any schoolroom or place where people are assembled for educational, political, literary or social purposes, or to any election precinct on any election day, or into any courtroom during the sitting of court, or into any other public assemblage of persons met for any lawful purpose other than for militia drill, or meetings called under militia law of this state, having on or about his person, concealed or exposed, any kind of firearms, bowie knife, springback knife, razor, metal knuks, billy, sword, cane, dirk, dagger, slingshot or other similar deadly weapon.


at first it says just concealed but then after a bunch of "or's" and commas and such, they throw in 'exposed'.

am i reading this too hard or am i reading that OC is really illegal?

Looks like Desoto is off limits. WE NEED A PREEMTIVE LAW!!:banghead:

It's interesting that thatMO law RSMO 304.010 provides for defense of speeding citations if you are not a resident of the county, but no defense if you didn't know what the local law is on OC?

I am not for certain, but the DeSoto laws look a bit outdated as I read the link you attached, it shows that carrying concealed is illegal, but does not give any exception for a concealed carry permit (which, in some instances, also excepts the person from OC being illegal.

Hey ComSec, on your list of cities that don't allow oc you have Belton and I can't find proof. I always thought it was legal and so do some of the LEOs I talk to.. I just searched and couldnt find it to be illegal http://www.municode.com/resources/gateway.asp?pid=10412&sid=25

No person shall have in his possession except within his own domicile, or carry or use, a revolver or pistol of any description, shotgun, or rifle which may be used for the explosion of cartridges, or any air gun, "B-B" gun, gas-operated gun, or spring gun, or any instrument, toy or weapon commonly known as a "peashooter," "sling shot," or "beany," or any bow made for the purpose of throwing or projecting missiles of any kind by any means whatsoever, whether such instrument is called by any name set forth above or by any other name.

That was quick! I found that too, it just took more reading. I searched firearms, first, then gun, then I found it with carrying...
