Modifies the offense of unlawful possession of a firearm

Summary

The bill replaces Missouri’s existing unlawful‑possession statute, defining the crime as knowingly having a gun while being a felon, a fugitive, habitually intoxicated or drugged, adjudged mentally incompetent, or under 18 on public property. It creates an exception for anyone who has completed the state’s required hunter‑education course and raises the penalty to a class C felony, or a class B felony for repeat or dangerous‑felony offenders. Antique firearms are also exempt from the new rule.
