HB 104 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Establishes provisions related to the safe storage of firearms

HB 104 requires firearm owners to securely store firearms on their premises to prevent access by unauthorized individuals, including children or people ineligible to own firearms under state/federal law. It defines secure storage as keeping firearms unloaded (except when ready to use), locked in containers like safes or gun cabinets with access restricted to authorized users, or activating safety features on personalized firearms. Violations carry a $500 fine for a first offense and a class B misdemeanor for repeat offenses, with a defense if a child used the firearm in lawful self-defense. The bill also mandates firearm dealers to display notices about penalties and requires the state to provide multilingual information to dealers, safety instructors, and healthcare providers about storage laws. It excludes antique firearms and curios/relics from these requirements.
