Requires a firearm owner to report lost or stolen firearms

HB 2493 requires Missouri firearm owners to report lost or stolen firearms to local law enforcement within 72 hours of discovery. The law mandates reporting the firearm's make, model, and serial number, which must be entered into Missouri's state law enforcement database. Failure to report results in tiered fines: $100 for a first violation, $400 for a second, and up to $500 for third or subsequent violations (classified as misdemeanors). This bill directly affects all Missouri firearm owners who experience loss or theft of their weapons.
