The Safety Gear Bill
Missouri offers tax credit for gun safety gear
Authorizes a tax credit to offset amounts paid on firearm safety items
Good for everyday people ·
If passed, Missourians could claim a tax credit for money they spend on gun safety equipment, lowering their tax bill.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
The credit could make safety gear cheaper, encouraging more owners to buy locks or safes, which may reduce accidents. But it also costs the state revenue, so taxpayers fund it.
