Frequently asked questions

You pay for the firearm here, name a licensed FFL dealer in Missouri at checkout, and we ship the gun to that dealer. You pick it up there after completing ATF Form 4473 and the background check.

Missouri has no permit to purchase, no firearm registration and no state waiting period. The old permit to acquire a concealable firearm, issued by the sheriff since 1921, was repealed with Section 571.090 RSMo by Senate Bills 62 and 41 in 2007. At a licensed dealer you show photo ID, complete ATF Form 4473 and the dealer runs a federal NICS background check; if it comes back as proceed you can take the firearm home the same day. Federal law sets the dealer minimum at 18 for rifles and shotguns and 21 for handguns. Private sales between residents need no state check.

Your dealer does at pickup, through the FBI’s NICS system or the state’s own system where the state runs its own check. Most checks come back in minutes.

Usually one visit. You fill out Form 4473 at the counter, the dealer runs the check, and you walk out with the gun if it clears and no state waiting period applies. If the check is delayed, the dealer holds the firearm until it is resolved.

A valid government photo ID with your current address, any permit or ID card your state requires, and the transfer fee. If your driver’s license still shows an old address, bring a supporting document the dealer accepts.

Each dealer sets their own transfer fee, commonly $20–$75. Call the dealer before ordering to confirm they accept shipped transfers and ask their fee.

Missouri has allowed carry without a permit since January 1, 2017. If you are 19 or older, or 18 and serving in or honorably discharged from the armed forces, and nothing bars you from having a firearm, you may carry concealed. The your County sheriff still issues the concealed carry permit under Section 571.101 RSMo: eight hours of training with a live-fire qualification, fingerprints, a fee of up to $100 and five years of validity, with extended and lifetime permits under Section 571.205. Many people still hold one for reciprocity in other states. Section 571.107 lists the places that stay off-limits. See our Missouri gun law overview.

Yes. Firearms go to your dealer, so the address that matters is theirs. Ammunition and gear ship to the door anywhere the carrier delivers and the law allows; a few remote addresses are served by a pickup point instead, and we will contact you if yours is one.

Most orders ship within 1–3 business days of payment (and, for firearms, once we have the dealer license). Ammunition travels by ground only, so it takes longer than the rest of your order.

Credit and debit cards on our secure checkout page.

Yes — price and availability are checked again when you place the order. If anything changed, you see it before you pay.
