Bill Summary
Requires a firearm owner to report lost or stolen firearms
AI Summary
This bill requires firearm owners in Missouri to report lost or stolen firearms to local law enforcement within 72 hours of discovering the loss or theft. When such a report is made, the local law enforcement agency must enter the firearm's make, model, and serial number into the Missouri Uniform Law Enforcement System (MULES), a statewide law enforcement database. The bill establishes a graduated penalty system for failing to report a lost or stolen firearm: the first violation is an infraction with a fine up to $100, the second violation is an infraction with a fine up to $400, and the third or subsequent violations become a misdemeanor with a fine up to $500. The purpose of this legislation appears to be improving tracking of firearms and holding owners accountable for reporting when their firearms go missing, which could help law enforcement trace potentially dangerous lost or stolen weapons.
