Missouri HB2545 modifies the definition of unlawful possession of a firearm to include nonimmigrant visa holders who do not qualify for federal.
Missouri HB2545 amends the state's unlawful possession of a firearm statute. It adds a new condition where a person commits the offense if they have been admitted to the United States under a nonimmigrant visa and do not qualify for an exception to the federal prohibition on firearm possession for such aliens. The offense remains a class C felony unless the person has been convicted of a dangerous felony or has a prior conviction for unlawful possession of a firearm, in which case it is a class B felony.
