HB 1685 Missouri House · 2024 Regular Session

Changes the offense of possession by adding high-capacity firearm magazines

HB 1685 updates state laws by explicitly classifying high-capacity firearm magazines as illegal to possess, manufacture, or sell. The bill defines these magazines as devices that hold or can be easily converted to hold more than ten rounds of ammunition. Anyone found in violation of this new provision faces a class D felony charge, while other listed dangerous items like machine guns and silencers carry similar penalties. The law includes specific exceptions for law enforcement, military personnel, and legitimate commercial or industrial uses.
