HB 693 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Adds improperly transporting or storing a firearm in a motor vehicle to the offense of unlawful use of a weapon

HB 693 makes it a violation to transport or store a loaded, concealed firearm in a motor vehicle outside a locked container or trunk. This applies to most people (excluding specific exceptions like law enforcement, firefighters, and others performing official duties under defined conditions). The bill adds this specific storage method to the existing offense of unlawful use of a weapon. It does not change general firearm laws but creates a new penalty for improper vehicle storage.
