Missouri: That the right of every citizen to keep and bear arms in defense of his home, person and property, or when lawfully summoned in aid of the civil power, shall not be questioned; but this shall not justify the wearing of concealed weapons. Art. I, § 23 (enacted 1945).To defend one's person by carrying is OK as long as you don't hide it? Sounds like Dodge City.

I know that way back when, to hide a gun was somehow devious. Only scoundrels hid them.
I did notice when the debate in New Mexico came up, a lot of ranchers couldn't understand what the big deal of the concealed law was because they could carry open. A lot of the rural areas have that "I got mine" disease.
