SB 922 Missouri Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Creates the offense of unlawful possession of a firearm by a minor

SB 922 creates a new offense for minors under 18 who knowingly possess a handgun or handgun ammunition, classifying it as a class A misdemeanor. The bill directly affects minors, with specific exceptions allowing possession during supervised farm/ranch activities, military service, inheritance, or self-defense in a residence. Key provisions clarify that firearms transferred properly to minors for permitted activities (like target practice with parental consent) won't lead to permanent confiscation, and confiscated items must be returned to owners if not involved in crime. The law also updates rules for firearm confiscation in felony cases involving firearms, ensuring minors' legally transferred weapons aren't permanently taken.
