Establishes the "Gun Theft Prevention Act", which creates requirements for licensed firearm dealers to protect their inventory from theft
HB 2950, the "Gun Theft Prevention Act," requires licensed Missouri firearm dealers to implement security measures to prevent theft of firearms. Dealers must submit approved security plans (including metal cabinets, alarms, and access controls) to the Department of Public Safety by January 1, 2027, and undergo annual inspections and inventory reconciliations. The bill mandates that dealers report any firearm theft or loss within 48 hours to both the Department of Public Safety and local law enforcement. These provisions apply specifically to businesses licensed under federal law to deal in firearms, with the Department setting security standards and conducting oversight.
