* NOTE  HB 2034 SECTION 571.020

As a practice matter the item does not have to be a C&R if you are a collector which is usually evidenced by having a C&R license.  That is if you have a C&R license you can have a non C&R Silencer, machine gun, SBR, or SBS as a keepsake.

This act allows licensed importers, manufacturers, dealers, or collectors to possess, manufacture, transport, repair, or sell a firearm silencer as a curio, ornament, or keepsake.

Currently, it is not a crime for a person to possess, manufacture, transport, repair, or sell a firearm silencer if such action was incident to dealing with the silencer as a curio, ornament, or keepsake, or it is used in a lawful dramatic performance, but only if the silencer is in a non functioning condition. Under this act, the silencer would not have to be in such non functioning condition.

This section is identical to certain provisions to SCS/SB 1172 (2008).
