Uh, okay. The title says open carry but parts of the article kinda indicate that CCW permits(infringements) are also being tossed out so, anybody from MO got the skinny on this?

[FreeAtlanta]

Very good!

I wish Georgia would have permitless conceal carry.

[BuffaloJack]

Excellent.

HB
1468

FIREARMS SPONSOR:

Currently,an
individual with a permit to carry a concealed weapon is exempt from the general statute banning the carrying of
concealed weapons in public areas. This bill repeals this
general prohibition on carrying concealed weapons
such as firearms and knives under Section 571.030, RSMo.
The bill does not repeal specific statutes regulating the
concealed carrying of firearms in specified locations
and does not grant the same rights to carry firearms concealed as the permit system which imposes only minimal
penalties for mistakes and allows reciprocity for
carrying weapons in other states.
This bill is similar to HB 1250 (2015).

Not from MO, but I don't think the article aligns with the title. Open carry is legal in MO, no permit required (local places can still regulate some stuff though). From Burlison's comment in the article, it sounds like they're just cleaning up the law to match their Constitutional guarantees? Already legal, just getting rid of outdated laws related to when it wasn't legal.
