vehicle on the employer's property when the employee is 5
arriving to or leaving from the employer's property for 6
employment purposes or when the employee is c onducting 7
activities within the course and scope of his or her 8
employment, provided that the employee's vehicle is locked, 9
the firearm is not visible, and the employee is not 10
prohibited from possessing a firearm by law. An employer 11
shall not be civilly liable for any injuries or damages 12 SB 147 2
resulting from the use of firearms that are stored in 13
compliance with this section. 14
563.031. 1. A person may, subject to the provisions 1
of subsection 2 of this section, use physical force upon 2
another person when and to the extent he or she reasonably 3
believes such force to be necessary to defend himself or 4
herself or a third person from what he or she reasonably 5
believes to be the use or imminent use of unlawful force by 6
such other person, unless: 7
(1) The actor was the initial aggressor; except that 8
in such case his or her use of force is nevertheless 9
justifiable provided: 10
(a) He or she has withdrawn from the encounter and 11
effectively communicated such withdrawal to such other 12
person but the latter persists in continuing the incident by 13
the use or threatened use of unlawful force; or 14
(b) He or she is a law enforcement officer and as such 15
is an aggressor pursuant to section 563.046; or 16
(c) The aggressor is justifi ed under some other 17
provision of this chapter or other provision of law; 18
(2) Under the circumstances as the actor reasonably 19
believes them to be, the person whom he or she seeks to 20
protect would not be justified in using such protective 21
force; 22
(3) The actor was attempting to commit, committing, or 23
escaping after the commission of a forcible felony. 24
2. A person shall not use deadly force upon another 25
person under the circumstances specified in subsection 1 of 26
this section unless: 27
(1) He or she reasonably believes that such deadly 28
force is necessary to protect himself, or herself or her 29 SB 147 3
unborn child, or another against death, serious physical 30
injury, or any forcible felony; 31
(2) Such force is used against a person who unl awfully 32
enters, remains after unlawfully entering, or attempts to 33
unlawfully enter a dwelling, residence, place of employment, 34
or vehicle lawfully occupied by such person; or 35
(3) Such force is used against a person who unlawfully 36
enters, remains after unlawfully entering, or attempts to 37
unlawfully enter private property that is owned or leased by 38
an individual, or is occupied by an individual who has been 39
given specific authority by the property owner to occupy the 40
property, or is a retail establishment or other place of 41
business wherein an individual using such force has a right 42
to be, claiming a justification of using protective force 43
under this section. 44
3. A person does not have a duty to retreat: 45
(1) From a dwelling, residenc e, place of employment, 46
or vehicle where the person is not unlawfully entering or 47
unlawfully remaining; 48
(2) From private property that is owned or leased by 49
such individual; or 50
(3) If the person is in any other location such person 51
has the right to be. 52
4. The justification afforded by this section extends 53
to the use of physical restraint as protective force 54
provided that the actor takes all reasonable measures to 55
terminate the restraint as soon as it is reasonable to do so. 56
5. [The defendant shall have the burden of injecting 57
the issue of justification under this section. If a 58
defendant asserts that his or her use of force is described 59
under subdivision (2) of subsection 2 of this section, the 60
burden shall then be on the s tate to prove beyond a 61 SB 147 4
reasonable doubt that the defendant did not reasonably 62
believe that the use of such force was necessary to defend 63
against what he or she reasonably believed was the use or 64
imminent use of unlawful force ] There shall be a presumpt ion 65
of reasonableness under this section that the defendant 66
believed such force was necessary to defend himself or 67
herself or a third person from what he or she believed to be 68
the use or imminent use of unlawful force by another person . 69
563.085. 1. A person who uses or threatens to use 1
force pursuant to section 563.031 is justified in such 2
conduct and is immune from criminal prosecution and civil 3
action for the use or threatened use of such force by the 4
person, personal represen tative, or heirs of the person 5
against whom the force was used or threatened, unless the 6
person against whom force was used or threatened is a law 7
enforcement officer who was acting in the performance of his 8
or her official duties and the officer ident ified himself or 9
herself in accordance with any applicable law or the person 10
using or threatening to use force knew or reasonably should 11
have known that the person was a law enforcement officer. 12
As used in this subsection, the term "criminal prosecuti on" 13
includes arresting, detaining in custody, and charging or 14
prosecuting the defendant. 15
2. A law enforcement agency may use standard 16
procedures for investigating the use or threatened use of 17
force as described in subsection 1 of this section, bu t the 18
agency may not arrest the person for using or threatening to 19
use force unless the agency determines that there is 20
probable cause that the force that was used or threatened 21
was unlawful. 22
3. In a criminal prosecution or civil action, once a 23
prima facie claim of self -defense immunity has been raised 24 SB 147 5
by the defendant at a pretrial immunity hearing, the burden 25
of proof by clear and convincing evidence is on the party 26
seeking to overcome the immunity provided in subsection 1 of 27
this section. 28

shall permit the applicant to exercise the same rights in 220
accordance with the same conditions as pertain to a 221

that it shall not serve as an alternative to an national 223
instant criminal background check required by 18 U.S.C. 224
Section 922(t). The provisional permit shall remain valid 225

of sections 571.101 to 571.121. If the applicant is found 242
to be ineligible, the sheriff is required to deny the 243
application, and notify the applicant in writing, stati ng 244
the grounds for denial and informing the applicant of the 245
right to submit, within thirty days, any additional 246
documentation relating to the grounds of the denial. Upon 247

reconsider his or her decision and inform the applicant 249
within thirty days of the result of the reconsideration. 250
The applicant shall further be informed in writing of the 251
right to appeal the denial pursuant to subsections 2, 3, 4, 252
and 5 of section 571.114. After two additional reviews and 253
