MO: Court Blocks Open-Carry Gun Demonstration Planned at St. Louis Zoo

On May 31, Jeffry Smith called the St. Louis Zoo and demanded that it remove its "no weapons" signs from the entrances. Smith also insisted that the zoo officially change its policy to permit visitors to bring firearms on the premises. The zoo refused. Smith promptly scheduled an open-carry demonstration inside the zoo for June 13, 2015. The zoo went to court seeking a restraining order barring Smith from carrying out his event.

Now, just a day before the planned demonstration, a Missouri court has granted the restraining order, explicitly forbidding Smith and his fellow gun enthusiasts from marching through the zoo with their weapons.

Years ago, as a callow youth, I was a staunch advocate for "open carry". But with a half-century of experience came some degree of wisdom. Mostly, because as I grew in experience I decided I didn't want to be a 'target'. There are times, I agree, where "open carry" is the best (or only) option. Its hard to conceal an expensive hunting handgun or even one used as backup in dangerous game country. And leaving it in a vehicle is absurd.

Damn few to no reasons to 'open carry' a light infantry weapon in most public venues unless there's an active disturbance. OTOH there's a lot of very valid reasons to CCW in almost any public venue.
 

 QUOTES TO REMEMBER
Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom of Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any bands of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States. — Noah Webster in "An Examination into the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution," 1787, in Paul Ford, ed., Pamphlets on the Constitution of the United States, at p. 56 (New York, 1888).
