Some friends of mine from Tennessee are going to be in Saint Louis in April. I'm in the KC area so not familiar with the area.
They will be staying at an air b&b in the Lindenwood Park area. Fyler Ave, Watson road. Anything to be concerned about? They plan on doing the Zoo and Arch. They CCW and I told them about Arch being Fed property. Last I saw posted is that the Zoo is no firearms but no metal detectors. Don't park on the streets and just keep situational awareness. They don't plan on being out at night. Anything else to tell them? Thanks Vince |

Not a great area, but it ain't north stl. Basics of watching yourself apply.
In April I would also highly suggest going to see the botanical gardens. One of the best in the country. |

The Science Center is pretty cool too.

Those areas are fine and other than the basic "keep your head on a swivel" type stuff that applies EVERYWHERE they shouldn't need to worry too much.

You can carry anywhere outside on the grounds, but you can't step foot inside armed. Don't even try.... Federal park = federal park rangers and they are pretty serious. You would be in cuffs once discovered. |

I'm sure there are lots of explanations for that. https://www.kuhl.com/borninthemountains/safest-national-parks-in-the-us |

Pretty limited get-away routes too. Can't run East without swimming, and West has lots of traffic.
