Sure. It was the Wal-Mart in Lake St Louis.
I've OCd there too... Ditto, no problems. The City of Lake St. Louis also removed the requirement for CCW to OC last year I believe.

Pretty funny the difference in people's opinions/knowledge on the laws. I bought an AR15 from a guy a while back and we met in that Walmart's parking lot. I was OCing my pistol too. A guy collecting carts came over to chat, and also called a manager out to take a look. They were into guns and we hung out and shot the sh!t for a while. The manager didn't mind one bit.Stopped in the Eureka Walmart for a few things on my way to the Pacific OC dinner. A gentleman in walmart said he thought it was illegal to open carry in walmart. I explained that walmart follows state law and Missouri is an OC state. I went on to explain about the CCW preemption and that OC was not preempted, and that municipalities can and do ban OC. I also invited him to the OC Dinner but he politely declined. Left walmart and headed to Deangelo's pizza in Pacific for dinner with a final count of 7 OCer's.

Pretty nice! I imagine the private business conducted in Walmart parking lots is only exceeded by commuter lots.
Open carried at Mobil in Bridgeton. But it was dark, the store wan't open (pumps still operate, tho), and i don't think anybody saw me. Does it count? Feel kinda like the tree in the woods, thing.

Definitely still counts.
I regularly OC when I get gas, which is about twice a week (damn 60 mile per day commute!). Typically nobody notices since I just stand by my car and pump gas, but once in a while I have to go inside. It's almost always at Quik Trip in LSL or Ofallon, and there's usually cops in there too. Nobody has said anything yet either.

They now have those projectiles out of a tube that sure does cut down on the running and catching of those critters. :lol:
Dang new fangled, modern toys. Why would anyone chose them when the old way was good enough.
Was out wed night buying a firearm at bass pro in indep.,lots of lookers and question about open carrying, handed out 12 or so cards. Went back to bass pro friday morning to return my previously bought firearm after taking it out of the box to clean it and noticed in had been shot....ALOT. It was supposed to be new, but wasnt. They exchanged it with no questions or problems. I had several lookers, the store was packed out, and was able to pass out a couple more cards.I was surprised to hear one of the counter guys chime in as I was talking to another customer that he knew open carry was legal, the customer I was talking to said his CCW instructor told him that open carry was a nono, against the law, ect... I politely informed him that that instructor was incorrect, and gave him a card, told him to check out the site.
I missed something... What "cards" were you passing out?
I will PM you, please catch it and answer.
I'm assuming he's talking about these, which we pretty much all have over here (sorry about the poor quality, I'm away from my scanner, so I just took a picture): View attachment 9595
