Currently Misouri law does not allow one to carry a concealed weapon into a bar or business in which their sales are alcohol. Does this apply to open carrying as well?

Seeing how this has a question mark at the end it would be more of a question? ................I Know what your thinking captain obvious has struck again!Does this apply to open carrying as well?
Missouri laws do not grant permission to do anything. They only say what you're not supposed to do. If it is not listed in the Missouri laws as illegal, then it is presumably legal unless dictated otherwise.
I'm afraid you are incorrect. 037 says it is legal to flash. I believe it's a newer law.
Open display of firearm permitted, when.
RSMO 571.037
"Any person who has a valid concealed carry endorsement, and who is lawfully carrying a firearm in a concealed manner, may briefly and openly display the firearm to the ordinary sight of another person, unless the firearm is intentionally displayed in an angry or threatening manner, not in necessary self defense."

Doesn't make much sense huhh? Open carry is legal, so why is this crazy law even needed? Next thing they'll make a law saying it's ok if you're shirt becomes briefly untucked.

Not as a crazy law as you might think. I always carry OWB with a untucked shirt covering the holster and firearm. In some places such as a little town near me by ordinance is is illegal to open carry. Now if I was to be in that little town and the wind briefly blew my shirt tail up and exposed my weapon a butt head cop (and they do have one) could arrest me for violating their no OC ordinance if it were not for that RSMO 571.037 being in effect.
You can still be charged with city ordinance though, right? In Springfield there's a ton of restrictions on CC on the books, even though state law supposedly pre-empts CC. Wouldn't this be the same way?
