Report ownership to schools in MO?

[rookorami]

Proposed Missouri bill:

"1. This act creates the offense of failing to stop illegal firearm possession. A person commits the offense if he or she is the parent or guardian of a child under the age of 18, he or she knows the child possesses a firearm in violation of the law, and he or she fails to stop the possession or report it to law enforcement.

2. This act also creates the offense of negligent storage of a firearm. A parent or guardian of a child under the age of 18 commits the offense by recklessly storing or leaving a firearm in a manner that is likely to result in the child accessing the firearm if the child obtains access to the firearm and unlawfully carries it to school, kills or injures another person with it, or commits a crime with it.

3. This act requires a parent or guardian to notify a school district, or the governing body of a private or charter school, that he or she owns a firearm within 30 days of enrolling the child in school or becoming the owner of a firearm."

If you home school, do you have to tell yourself that you own a gun?

That bill go nowhere our legislature is very pro gun.

If you want your children to grow up and have a measurable IQ - home school. Govt. run public schools are one of the biggest problems we have created.

Hmm. My oldest son has had keys to my gun safes (legally; he's got licenses) since he was 15 and one of his favorite pastimes is IPSC rifle practise with my SBR AR:s and AK:s, by himself and unsupervised, of course. And I thought Missouri like most of the US was far less narrow-minded and hysterical than downright draconian finnish gun legislation.
