Bill > HB2493

This bill requires firearm owners in Missouri to report the loss or theft of a firearm to local law enforcement within 72 hours of discovering the incident. The owner must provide details such as the firearm's make, model, and serial number, which will then be entered into the Missouri Uniform Law Enforcement System (MULES). Failure to report a lost or stolen firearm will result in escalating penalties: a first violation is an infraction with a fine up to $100, a second violation carries an infraction fine up to $400, and a third or subsequent violation is a misdemeanor with a fine up to $500. The purpose of this bill appears to be improving tracking of firearms and holding owners accountable for reporting when their firearms go missing, which could potentially help law enforcement trace weapons involved in crimes.
