Missouri Firearm Bill of Sale

Updated June 13, 2023 | Legally reviewed by Susan Chai, Esq.

A Missouri Firearm Bill of Sale proves that a firearm was bought and sold in Missouri. 

Although Missouri law doesn’t require firearm bills of sale, you should use them for transaction record keeping.

Missouri does not have a waiting period for gun sales and is lax on other firearm requirements.

Firearm laws: Revised Statutes of Missouri Section 571.070, Revised Statutes of Missouri Section 571.500, Revised Statutes of Missouri Section 21.750

Restrictions: Yes

State permit to purchase: No

Registration of firearm: No

License to own: No

Assault weapon law: No

Magazine capacity restriction: No

Permit for concealed carry: No

Permit for open carry: No

How to Sell a Firearm Privately

Missouri has minimal requirements for selling firearms. Anyone who can legally own a firearm in Missouri can also sell it. 

Requirements

Since Missouri does not require a firearm bill of sale, there are no requirements for filling one out. However, you should get this document and record all the seller, buyer, and firearm details to reduce the likelihood of fraud or ownership mixups.

Restrictions

According to Revised Statutes of Missouri Section 571.070, an individual cannot possess or purchase a firearm in Missouri if they:

  • Have been convicted of a felony
  • Are a fugitive from justice
  • Are currently adjudged mentally incompetent
  • Are habitually in a drugged or intoxicated condition

Firearm Inheritance

Missouri law does not require you to notify anyone if you inherit a gun from a relative. However, individuals who are prohibited from owning firearms may not receive one in an inheritance.

Registration

You can buy a firearm in Missouri without registering it. 

Revised Statutes of Missouri Section 571.500 prohibits any federal or state government agency from establishing a firearm registry, database, or record in Missouri.

Concealed Carry Permit

Revised Statutes of Missouri Section 21.750 allows permitless open carry for anyone 19 or older who can legally possess a firearm, except in localities that restrict open carry.

Missouri residents with Concealed Carry Permits (CCPs) can carry openly anywhere in the state unless the firearm is intentionally displayed in an angry or threatening manner in the presence of another person and not in necessary self-defense (Revised Statutes of Missouri Section 571.037).

Missouri also allows permitless concealed carry for Missouri residents 19 and over.

According to the Revised Statutes of Missouri Section 571.030, concealed carry is illegal if a person carries the firearm into a place where concealed carry is restricted by law, such as an occupied school or courthouse.

Some exemptions include having a valid endorsement or permit to carry concealed firearms.

How to Apply

CCPs allow you to open and conceal carry in localities that restrict open carry. They also let you use your firearm in states recognizing Missouri’s CCP.

You must be 19 or 18 if you are part of the military or honorably discharged to apply for a Missouri CCP.

Follow these steps to get started:

Step 1 – Get Trained

Take a certified training firearm class. Your county sheriff will give you a list of certified trainers approved by MO Rev. Stat. § 571.111.

Step 2 – Fill Out Application

Download and complete the permit application form from your county police department’s website. 

Step 3 – Apply in Person

Appear in person at your county police department.

Step 4 – Show ID and Proof of Training

Provide valid identification and proof of training from the qualified instructor. 

Step 5 – Pay Fees

You must pay the amount specified by your county police department.

Step 6 – Pass Background Check

The county police department will conduct a National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) check. The department will give you your CCP if there is no disqualifying information.

Gun Reciprocity

According to Revised Statutes of Missouri Section 571.030 and MO Rev. Stat. § 571.101 Missouri honors concealed weapons permits from every state that issues them.

The following states do not recognize Missouri’s CCP:

  • California
  • Connecticut
  • Hawaii
  • Illinois
  • Maryland
  • Massachusetts
  • Minnesota
  • Nevada
  • New Jersey
  • New York
  • Oregon
  • Rhode Island
  • Washington
