Many criminal defense attorneys have never heard of the Lautenberg Amendment. Some know of its ramifications, just not its name. Because there are so many avid hunters, gun collectors and military personnel in Missouri, it is something every criminal defense attorney should keep in mind when representing a client accused of a domestic violence offense.
