SOmetimes I forget how freaked out some people get by firearms. Theres this gas station I go to regularly, and once upon leaving the firing range, I had my Beretta M9 in my car. I was friends with the gas station clerk attending at the time so I had him come out to the car so I could show it to him, it was a friendly interaction.
But 3-4 weeks later, today, the manager was finally working when I went up there, and she came out to tell me I can never bring a weapon on the property of her gas station, or she will call the police, she seemed kind of pissed off too at the time. Considering I didn't bring it inside her establishment, outside of kicking me off the property, I don't know what the police would write me up on, certainly not a felony. I didn't pull it out and start waving it around or nothing, I left it in the case and opened it up, just to show it to him. SOme people fail to read the constitution, if I were drunk while possessing the firearm I could understand, but I was as sober as a priest on Sunday.
Personally I'd be more freaked out about the criminals with firearms not a customer coming back from a firing range who has his gun in a locking case. I guess she's part of the Brady campaign though.
I don't know what else I can do other than get my CCW, bring your firearm into an establishment with a no-firearms sign on it with a CCW permit, and getting caught is like a $100 fine.
Heres what it says about open carry in missouri, doesn't appear I broke any laws to be honest.
