jackinelgin Posted July 21, 2017 at 09:25 PM Share Posted July 21, 2017 at 09:25 PM Going to Lake of the Ozarks for 4 days with the kids and grandkids. I checked a few websites and nothing really stood out. Anything I should be aware of[or wary of]. TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glock23 Posted July 21, 2017 at 09:29 PM Share Posted July 21, 2017 at 09:29 PM Signs in Missouri do not carry the force of law. If you carry in a GFZ and are discovered, they can ask you to leave (or call the cops, who will ask you to leave). Refusal can result in a fine. Basically, keep it concealed and carry on!

xrlke Posted July 21, 2017 at 11:17 PM Share Posted July 21, 2017 at 11:17 PM Enjoy the feeling of a more carry friendly state. Last I remember public transportation buses and such were big no-no's. Check handgunlaw.us like Trevis said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gamma Posted July 22, 2017 at 03:21 AM Share Posted July 22, 2017 at 03:21 AM About the only oddity of Missouri that stands out is that any possession of any firearm, loaded or unloaded, on a bus or mass transmit is a felony. It's a grey area if it applies to shuttle busses and things like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a grey area if it applies to shuttle busses and things like that.Former Missourian here (and actually in Columbia this weekend). Someone else mentioned handgunlaw.us, which is a good resource. Most of the same places that are off limits in IL are a no-go in MO, too. Feel free to stop at any gun shop and handle any firearm you like without ever having to show a FOID. If you pull it out to show, prepare to get comments like, "...commie card," etc. Buy as much ammo as you please with just a driver's license if you look young. Pistols Plus in Osage Beach is a neat place to shop. Not a huge store, but they have a tiny little museum that a handful of classic firearms.

It's a grey area if it applies to shuttle busses and things like that.While not relevant to the OP's visit to Lake of the Ozarks, possession of a firearm on some forms of mass transit (namely the MetroLink light rail) under jurisdiction of the Bi-State Deveopment Agency is classified a misdemeanor--not a felony. But it's still illegal, nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patriot Millennial Posted July 24, 2017 at 03:22 AM Share Posted July 24, 2017 at 03:22 AM I'd like to input some new found knowledge here. I am currently an Illinois resident and do not yet have my CCL. However, I travel to St. Louis very frequently and was curious about their permitless carry as it applies to non-resident. I did contact a pro-2a lawyer(KL Jamison Law) about it and the firm's response was: Concealed carry has been decriminalized if you are otherwise legal to possess guns. You can carry concealed in Missouri. Just a neat bit of info that I figured I would share. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dukemason Posted July 24, 2017 at 05:21 PM Share Posted July 24, 2017 at 05:21 PM I just got back from a few days in Branson, MO. I was inside a busy McDonald's on Interstate 44 around Rolla and noticed a biker open carrying. No one seemed to care. I'm not sure if it's different from Illinois, but in Missouri possession of a gun while intoxicated is a felony. I interpret that as having a gun in your car and you get pulled over for DUI, you get a felony charge for the gun, CCL or not. Something to think about around the Lake of the Ozarks, where a lot of people are partying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bitter Clinger Posted July 24, 2017 at 06:29 PM Share Posted July 24, 2017 at 06:29 PM As it's been said already, carrying in MO should be no big deal.My company has an office in MO that I visit occasionally and what's nice is that I can carry while I'm there.Can't do that here in Chicago since my building is posted with the no-guns sign, as are most all buildings in the Chicago Loop area.
