Need some info tonight if possible. I'm going to a gun show tomorrow in STL, and I am thinking of selling some guns.[:(]
So I've only lived here a month, and don't know all the laws. What does it take to privately sell a gun (handguns too) to someone in the state of MO? Is there that 'gunshow loop-hole' closure BS here?
Thanks in advance.

Anyway, there are no specific laws concerning the sale of *long guns* from a private collection between individuals. There is no permit requirement for rifles or shotguns.
[b]**It is a class A misdemeanor to sell, rent, lease, loan, or otherwise transfer a handgun without the buyer first obtaining a “permit to acquire a concealable firearm” from the sheriff of the county where the buyer lives. It is also a class A misdemeanor for the buyer.**[/b] Permits must be acquired even when buying handguns from a private party. Do not take the gun to the sheriff’s office, it may be confiscated.
[i]As always, keep a *very* low profile. The gun show promoter wants sellers to rent table space.[/i] He is in a business, and you are not giving him his cut. You are a 'rogue' seller so-to-speak.
