Dougster, you will find Branson to be a very firearm friendly city. My family spent a week there last December and I saw not a single "No Guns" sign. Remember that a concealed carry permit in Missouri does not authorize you to carry into the following:
Any police station
Any polling place
Any correctional facility
Any courthouse
Any government meeting
Any bar (an establishment that get less than 50% of it's income by the sale of food and seats less than 50 people)
Any airport
Any federally controlled facility
Any school (colleges don't count)
Any child care facility
Any casino
Any amusement park
Any church
Any posted private property
Any sports arena that seats more than 5000
Any hospital open to the public
Carrying in any of these places is not a crime, by the way. Additionally, you can obtain permission from the person in charge to carry in most of the listed places.
Also, you can't carry on public transportation (buses, trains). Carrying on a public bus or train is a crime.
Missouri has no duty to inform law for informing law enforcement you are carrying and Missouri also has no duty to retreat before you can use deadly force.
