HB 550 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Modifies provisions relating to firearms

HB 550 repeals 21 existing Missouri firearm laws and replaces them with six new sections. It promotes responsible gun ownership (including parental supervision and reporting stolen firearms) and condemns unlawful firearm transfers. The bill modifies property owners' liability to trespassers, particularly adding specific protections for children harmed by dangerous conditions on land. It also clarifies when individuals may use force in self-defense, stating force is permissible when reasonably believed necessary to prevent unlawful force. The changes directly affect property owners, gun owners, and individuals involved in self-defense scenarios.
