Missouri GOP Bills Could Change Gun Laws Significantly

The Missouri Senate considers two controversial bills aimed at loosening firearm regulations, including one that would prevent cities and counties from enforcing their own open carry restrictions. Senate Bill 74, supported by Republican Sen. Brad Hudson, clashes with existing local laws such as those in St. Louis, where open carry is already limited. Meanwhile, Senate Bill 147 would shift the burden of proof in self-defense cases, allowing individuals who kill in perceived self-defense to be presumed innocent, raising alarms among legal experts and prosecutors.

Opponents of these measures, including law enforcement representatives, argue that they could effectively allow individuals to kill without consequence under loosely defined “self-defense” claims. This comes on the heels of high-profile shooting cases like that of Ralph Yarl, which highlight the growing concerns about public safety and community autonomy in gun regulations. Proponents assert that such changes are vital for personal protection, especially for women in self-defense situations. The ongoing discussion reveals deep divides over gun rights and public safety in Missouri.
