HB 1462 Missouri House · 2024 Regular Session

Repeals provisions that prohibit political subdivisions from adopting orders, ordinances, or regulations relating to firearms

This bill prevents local governments in the state from creating new rules or enforcing existing ones regarding the sale, ownership, and use of firearms, with specific exceptions for open carry regulations that match state law. It explicitly bars counties, cities, and towns from passing ordinances that restrict how people buy, transfer, or possess guns, unless those rules align exactly with current state statutes. Additionally, the legislation clarifies that making and selling firearms is not considered a public nuisance and shields manufacturers from lawsuits brought by local governments, while still allowing individuals to sue for defective products.
