Bill Summary · HB 2113

Legislative bill overview

HB 2113 establishes requirements for the safe storage of firearms in Missouri. The bill creates legal standards for how firearms must be secured when not in use. The specific provisions have not yet been publicly detailed given its recent prefiling status.

Why is this important

Firearm storage laws directly affect public safety outcomes, particularly regarding unintentional shootings, suicides, and access by minors or unauthorized users. Missouri currently has no statewide safe storage requirements, making this legislation potentially significant for how residents must manage firearms in their homes and other locations.

Potential points of contention

  • Second Amendment concerns: Gun rights advocates may argue the bill infringes on property rights or creates compliance burdens for lawful gun owners
  • Enforcement and liability: Questions about who enforces storage requirements, what penalties apply, and whether parents/owners face criminal liability if stored guns are accessed by others
  • Practical feasibility: Disagreement over whether proposed storage methods are cost-prohibitive, accessible for disabled individuals, or practical for self-defense scenarios requiring quick access
