HB 2217 -- Unlawful Use of Weapons

Sponsor:  Kratky

This bill specifies that a person commits the crime of unlawful
use of weapons if he or she knowingly commits a felony while in
possession of an otherwise lawfully concealed firearm, regardless
of whether the firearm was used in the commission of the offense.
No person can be placed on probation if he or she was a
documented member of a gang or in possession of illegal
controlled substances at the time of the offense.  A person who
has had his or her concealed carry endorsement permanently
revoked is prohibited from being issued a concealed carry
endorsement certificate of qualification by a sheriff, and a
person's endorsement will be immediately suspended by the court
upon the filing of an indictment charging the person with
unlawful use of weapons and will remain suspended until the
charge is dismissed or the person is found not guilty.  Upon a
plea of guilty or a finding of guilt, the endorsement will be
permanently revoked and the court must forward a notice of the
plea or conviction along with the driver's or nondriver's license
with the concealed carry endorsement to the Department of
Revenue.  The department must notify the appropriate sheriff who
must report the change in endorsement status to the Missouri
Uniform Law Enforcement System (MULES).
