Original Note:
MO law doesn’t specify the minimum age at which someone may possess a gun, but police can use the status offense of “behavior injurious” to take minors into custody and seize the gun. Some officers would prefer this be a criminal offense, rather than a status offense. https://revisor.mo.gov/main/OneSection.aspx?section=211.131 https://www.stltoday.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/move-to-restrict-minors-with-guns-gains-traction-in-missouri-house/article_82f0bf87-727d-5d1b-
