Proposes a constitutional amendment relating to firearms

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to strengthen gun rights in Missouri by explicitly protecting the right to own firearms for self-defense and civil duty, requiring courts to use strict scrutiny when reviewing any restrictions. It clarifies that these rights cannot be denied to convicted violent felons or individuals deemed dangerous due to mental health issues, while still allowing local governments in counties, St. Louis, and Kansas City to regulate firearm possession and carry through local ordinances. Local regulations must limit permit fees to actual costs, ensure permits are valid for no more than five years, and recognize out-of-state permits, while also exempting law enforcement, judges, and licensed security guards from local rules. Penalties for violating local gun laws would be capped at a $1,000 fine or one year in jail, and local authorities could seize firearms from individuals legally barred from owning them.
