AN ACT To repeal sections 70.441, 571.107, 577.703, and 577.712, RSMo, and to enact in lieu thereof four new sections relating to the carrying of firearms on public transportation systems, with existing penalty provisions.

AI Summary

This bill repeals and replaces several sections of Missouri law related to the carrying of firearms on public transportation systems. The key provisions are: 1. It allows individuals with a valid concealed carry permit or endorsement to carry concealed firearms on public transportation systems, such as buses and trains, without being prohibited or impeded. This includes portions of public transportation systems provided through private contracts. 2. It removes restrictions on transporting non-functioning or unloaded firearms on public buses, as long as the ammunition is not readily accessible. 3. It maintains exceptions for law enforcement, security personnel, and others authorized by the transportation agency to carry weapons on their property or vehicles. Overall, the bill aims to expand the rights of concealed carry permit holders to access and use public transportation while carrying firearms, with some limited restrictions remaining in place.
