Missouri requires no permit to purchase, firearm registration, or state waiting period. The permit to acquire a concealable firearm was repealed in 2007. At a licensed dealer, buyers show photo ID, complete ATF Form 4473, and pass a federal NICS background check. Firearms can be taken home the same day if the check clears.
