I hope you're right, I used to live in MO, have lots of friends there, all over the state.

Would like to strap when I visit, especially in KCMO and STL.

Got friends in NEMO too, real Meth problem up there.

I'd be very careful about that for a while. The powers that be in St. Louis have made it abundantly clear that they will arrest anybody caught legally carrying a concealed firearm in their jurisdiction, confiscate their firearm, and charge them with a crime.

Yes, you read that right.

If these criminals we have in charge of St. Louis (and I mean that literally, not figuratively, because of these people's FIRMLY STATED intention to BREAK AT WILL a law that they "don't like," to falsely arrest citizens and steal their property -- again I mean that literally as they have NO right to confiscate the firearm of an honest, legally carrying law-abiding citizen) don't back down, expect one or more very significant lawsuits to take place.

Disclaimer: We need to wait a while to see exactly what the shaking-out of this ruling is. Some of the legal minds around have advised that the SC ruling can't really be counted as effective for 15 days. If you should in the future be stopped and arrested by any of these persons in uniform with prior-stated criminal intent, DO NOT offer any resistance whatsoever or be anything less than excruciatingly polite. Expect a legal battle, and let the courts settle the matter. I personally would sue for all they're worth. But my advice is to avoid doing anything that you could possibly be (even illegally) arrested for.
