HB 39 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Prohibits an employer from terminating an employee for having a firearm in the employee's vehicle on the employer's premises

HB 39 prohibits employers from firing employees who store a legally owned firearm in a locked vehicle on the employer's premises, provided the firearm is not visible and the employee is not legally barred from possessing firearms. It directly affects employees who legally carry firearms and work at locations allowing vehicle access on-site. The bill requires vehicles to be locked, firearms to be concealed, and employees to legally possess firearms to qualify for this protection. Employers also cannot face civil liability for injuries resulting from firearms stored compliantly under this law.
