Law enforcement in Missouri is unsure of how the Second Amendment Preservation Act will affect their department
COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)
Law enforcement agencies across the state are unsure how the new Missouri law will affect their relationship with their federal partners.
The law imposes a $50,000 fine on any state or local official who enforces a federal gun law that is not already a law in Missouri.
Brian Leer, with the Boone County Sheriffs office, said they are currently working with their legal counsel to try and determine the impact the SAPA law will have on the agency. We understand that it will impact us as we have been heavily involved in an ATF Task Force for several years and have worked well with the ATF to identify those responsible for violent street crimes and crimes involving the use of firearms, but we aren t clear yet what all the impact will be, Leer said.
