I don't know....but I keep getting asked so I'll make a call or two and find out. The law's pretty gray these days. The short answer is yes.....but I THINK you still may need a license, just no training or anything else.
I can tell you that in St. Louis Co. the PA's office, for the most part, won't take CCW cases on people with no record. (I know....but the govt. can always find a way to lock you up if they want  )

In a betting pool with a bunch of buds for the season and the SB. We pick winner and margin and tie break with total O/U, straight up.
Figuring they will all be jammed up and split on teams with close game picks but I am thinking about going big on your coons. Maybe coons by 14/54. I'm guessing Ryan is the real deal and their D is good enough to hold the dickheads to 20 pts.
I'm up on the year so it's house money and take a chance. What do you think about that Bubba........are the coons for real or they gonna go all Braves on me?
bwaaaaaaaaaa

How in the fork can you give up the puck and the tying goal and allow a 2 on 1 4/4 with 30 seconds left in the 1st period?
It was over at that very moment.

Griff can you believe the stupid bastards fired Hitchcock? Don't they know he's a great coach? What the hell are they thinking?

Well, if you pay any attention at all you know that Armstrong doesn't think. This won't change the Blue's season, or Hitchcock's legacy. The problem is on the ice, not behind the bench. I do know a bit about the relationship between Hitchcock and Armstrong......and it likely became strained when the team could provide no help on the ice. It's a mess.
I haven't known what they are thinking in the last 3 or 4 years.

Bringing down Barclays jersey so they could go up together was pretty dang cool.
Did Bobby say even one sentence about himself?
Mr. Blue is finally right where he belongs.

Well, last nights performance showed us something about several players on this team. Mostly a complete lack of character. They confirmed they were laying down, dogging-it, so to speak, for the last several weeks. They decided they weren't going to give it their all. They either decided together or as individuals or maybe even subconsciously. Who knows? What I do know is this same group of players started the season with an impressive record and giving a full effort, even when they weren't executing all that well. We saw that going balls-to-the-wall can overcome some roster deficiencies and execution mistakes. Then, for whatever reason, many decided to play like Berglund and give 60% most of the time. Most would agree it was to get Hitch fired but you can have your own theories. What you can't argue is the effort the first few months of the season and last night was substantially higher than what we saw the last several weeks.
I still don't the Armstrong deserves much of the bashing he is taking. I am more in the camp that thinks this year was intentionally a mini-rebuilding year (with ownership buy-in). I think they still figured to make the playoffs but knew full well, it was going to be impossible to build a Cup winning team for this year. They took a solid run at it last year and could not keep that team together, even if they wanted to due to cap restrictions. Furthermore, that was a 4th place team and they peaked at 4th place. Now it is time to build around Tarasenko, Parayko, Pietrangelo, Schwartz, Fabbri, etc... A few dead weight contracts come due this off-season and there are a few youngsters in the minors that can challenge for some spots. And there is no way DA could have foreseen Allen's meltdown. Even the people that thought they should have kept Elliott over Allen would agree that this level of meltdown was highly unlikely. And finally, if you get rid of Armstrong, who do you get that is better? DA is about a highly regarded as any GM in the NHL.
And I couldn't care less about Bob Plager getting his jersey hoisted. He was an average player at best and probably got to play a few extra years because he was Barclay's brother. If hanging around for 40 or 50 years gets your jersey hoisted, so be it. I don't have anything against the guy (although he is a little on the obnoxious side the few times I've met him). I just couldn't care less if they hoist his jersey or not. Good for him. and if it makes you happy, woo hoo!!

Pretty sure Plager will sleep just fine without your endorsement. He's not a hall of famer, and he showed his humility at the deal last night as well as why he was honored.
Sorry if he kicked you ourt of his bar. bwaaaaaaaaaaaa
As for Army, the Allen extension was one of the stupidest moves I've seen. Forget pushing Elliott out, but to then sign Allen to 16 million when he had a free year left to wait and see was idiotic. Mind boggling, actually.
Call it what you want, bad luck or bad decisions, but the Stasny contract, the Lehtera contract and just recently the Steen contract are all hanging around the neck of this franchise.
If he isn't on the bubble, waiting to see where this team goes this year, he should be. And making impact changes are going to be tough to work against the cap he has put in place for this team.

Can't argue the Allen contract, other than to think he would have been far more expensive if he had a good year. That's the gamble they took and it hasn't paid off so far. All we can do now is hope he gets his chit together and becomes serviceable.
I don't fret the Stastny and Steen contracts. They are not going to be killers. My guess is both of those guys will come around and be what they've show then can be. For the last few years, Steen was arguably one of the best 3 or 4 players on this team. Hard to believe he just lost it. My guess is he was/is injured or has some other issue.
Bob Plager certainly doesn't need my endorsement to be sure. But I'm having a bit of a hard time understanding his jersey in the rafters. A Bob Plager night makes sense but retiring his jersey? That is usually reserved for the best of the best players. He wasn't even the best of the average players. Who's next, Larry Patey?
