Thanks all. I rode the Metro while armed. It was posted no weapons, so I was grateful the sign had no force of law.

Given the crowd that was on the Metro, I was also grateful to be armed.

So, flying into STL airport in St. Louis this week. I can either take a shuttle bus to the downtown hotel or I can take the subway.

After reviewing handgunlaw.us for MO info, I find that MO 571.107 states any of the places listed 1-17 are off limits, but the signs have no force or law. ("shall not be a criminal act but may subject the person to denial to the premises or removal from the premises.")

However, 578.305 makes carrying on a bus a class C felony.

4. Any passenger who boards a bus with a dangerous or deadly weapon or other means capable of inflicting serious bodily injury concealed upon his person or effects is guilty of the felony of "possession and concealment of a dangerous or deadly weapon" upon a bus. Possession and concealment of a dangerous and deadly weapon by a passenger upon a bus shall be a class C felony.

I note from google streetview, the subway entrance is posted no weapons. However, I assume a subway is not a bus. Seems like I can carry on the subway. Anyone have other information?

As far as taking the airport-hotel shuttle, I guess it matters whether I am in the passenger van (top) or shuttle bus (bottom):




Anyone have familiarity that can give guidance? I don't necessarily want to rely upon plain statute language if there is messed up case law, or a local statute, that can screw me up.

Finally, seems like I can pretty much carry anywhere I want (including riverboat gambling if inclined) so long as I conceal well and do not get confronted. Correct?
