I live in Missouri ( St.Louis ) and have two family members who have gotten their C&C permits soon afterit was passed.I was going to apply for the permit myself, but some weekslater I noticed every restuarant, hospital, stores, with "No Firearms Permitted" posted on the front door. I questioned one family member about this since he attended the classes, and he said ( By Instructor ) " If you have a C&C permit you have the right to carry a firearm anywhere you wish". And " No one has the right to ask you to leave". This is where it gets confusing. " A proprietor noticing you have a firearm can ask you to leave, and has the option to have to removed by law inforcement if you refuse to do so". And, " If you enter the same establishment three more times you can lose your C&C permit". So my?? is what weight does this C&C law have for the gun owner? Everywhere I go places are posted.. And basically I don't see where C&C has done anything. Can someone please help me where I'm possibly missing something here. This has stalled my decision to apply for a long time. Thanks.......... ;)

Here's the big question:

Why should you care?

If it's not "legally blacklisted", and you're properly concealed, they aren't going to know anyways, and it's a mute point.

In the event you ARE spotted, you have the privilege of LEAVING and taking your business elsewhere(if you are caught, you're not concealing properly)..

The lawmakers wanted to send the message: Keep your gun, keep it out of sight and go about your business.. Otherwise we're going to run you up the flagpole.

AMEN!

This is the wonderful thing about our state law. There are NO criminal penalties for carrying in "prohibited" places. I carry whenever and whereever I want. I have never been asked to leave a business.
