I open carried in Missouri all last summer, Wally-World, Home Depot, Lowes, numerous restaurants and stop-n-robs and the majority of the questions I got from people were “Is that legal, can I do that?” “How do I go about getting my concealed carry permit?” “What do I have to do to buy a pistol?” When people do notice be prepared to be the “gun authority” . As I carried a 1911 style gun (Para-Ordnance P-14) I also got a couple “Mister, did you know the hammer of your gun is cocked back?” Me, “Yes sir that is the way the designer of the gun intended it to be carried and it really is the safest way.”
In Missouri there is no state law concerning open carry, however open carry is the one area of firearms law that cities are allowed to regulate so you need to know the local ordinances of the city/town you are in.
