Good question. Not sure but the weapon can not be within reach and can not be in glove compartment or under the seat. Ammo has to be stored separately. Maybe in one of those locked toolboxes you sometimes see in trucks. Guess the answer is drive slowly through Missouri if you have a weapon in your Truck.
That's why you make sure you kill them all and then leave the scene. Who's going to care about a bunch of worthless thugs, anyway? The world is a better place without them and they have it coming to them. If anyone ever messes with me and my family, they better be warned that I shoot first and ask questions later. Keep the people armed!!!! It's our last line of defense against whatever this crazy world throws at us.

Missouri Constitution, Bill of Rights, Article I, Section 23, states:
"That the right of every citizen to keep and bear arms in the defense of his home, person, and property, or when lawfully summoned in the aid of the civil power, shall not be questioned; but this shall not justify the wearing of concealed weapons."
I suggest that all Missourian's exert their constitutional right as stated in the Missouri Constitution:
Missouri Constitution, Bill of Rights, Article I, Section 23, states:
"That the right of every citizen to keep and bear arms in the defense of his home, person, and property, or when lawfully summoned in the aid of the civil power, shall not be questioned; but this shall not justify the wearing of concealed weapons."
"That the right of every citizen to keep and bear arms in the defense of his home, person, and property, or when lawfully summoned in the aid of the civil power, shall not be questioned; but this shall not justify the wearing of concealed weapons.
Bear means to "wear on oneself." It appears to me that there can be no law prohibiting a Missouri citizen from wearing an "arm" on oneself, in full view, whether in your car on a public road, in a school, in a park, walking on a street, at the Edward Jones Dome, in a courthouse, firehouse, or police station.
These are all taxpayer paid for facilities. Only on private property can a citizen be denied a constitutionally guaranteed right.
Remember, this is the Missouri Bill of Rights, not privileges.
She drove. She quickly got onto the freeway, got her 'Stang up to 100+ MPH, and started giving the guy on the hood a feral grin...
The guy waved the gun and screamed, "STOP!"
She stood on the brake pedal. Sir Isaac's Second Law took over. The robber bounced, rolled, and got the mother of all road rash.
Missouri Constitution, Bill of Rights, Article I, Section 23, states:
"That the right of every citizen to keep and bear arms in the defense of his home, person, and property, or when lawfully summoned in the aid of the civil power, shall not be questioned; but this shall not justify the wearing of concealed weapons."
So, if your "property," a SUV, is being carjacked, and the carjackers are threatening to kill you to get possession of your property, you would be on "shaky ground" to constitutionally defend your "...person, and property...?"
That kind of reasoning is legalistic sophistry at it's best.
That is why our rights are being constantly eroded.
I'll try to do that (keep track of the story), though since they do not give the victim's name (for his safety apparently) it will be difficult.
What ivory tower do you live in? Tell you what if you are so frigging bright, there is a football game at the Edward Jones Dome Monday night. Say you wear your holster down to the dome and see what happens?
As far as wearing the holster in your car, several cases I believe have already come up where the cops have claimed that the weapon is "concealed" unless they can clearly see as they approach the car.
If you acted reasonably you probably wouldnt be charged but if you were pulled over for a parking ticket and either informed the cop you had a weapon or he discovered it on his own, you would likely be arrested. Now if you want to start your the Ghandi thing thats fine but dont lead others to think that they can wear a gun in a holster in their car in be legal. They might lose their right to own a gun.
He doesn't sound like much of a victim to me. Way to go!!!!!
Not sure why this would surprise anybody. Congrats to this man for saving his life and being prepared (a.k.a., gun owner).
Somebody found it, and will maybe someday need it for a "throwdown".
So yes, we DO need a CCW. We would have had one 3 years ago but for the corruption in St.L. As it was, we only lost by 3%. NRA has promised to re-visit this issue, if/when we get a Republican Governor. We fought hard for it last time. GOA and NRA. NRA spent $3.2 million in effort to pass. Will it pass next time? Hopefully....but not with Jimminy Cricket in the Governor's Mansion in Jeff City.
