So, you don't need to get (obtain) a permit to acquire (concealable firearm permit) before you buy (acquire) a handgun (noisemaker). Woot. We need a hometown fireteam mission to our state senators and then if it makes it to the house.... the same. ;-) |

So when do we need to hit up our senators? When does this bill get close to a vote?

I didn't know that you had to obtain a concealable firearm permit before acquiring a handgun? Are you sure they aren't referring to obtaining a "Permit to Purchase a Handgun"? |

Go read the text of the current law. There is no Handgun Permit law. It has always been a "permit to aquire a concealable firearm". They then define a "concealable" firearm as one with a barrel shorter than 16". This would mean that you need a permit not only for a handgun, but also for a SBR, SBS, or a machinegun with a short barrel. The way I read this, you could buy a handgun receiver with no permit, and later install a slide and barrel. After all, while a receiver may be considered a "firearm" by federal definition, it does not meet the state def. of a "concealable" firearm because it has no barrel. (keep in mind, this is just my opinion, and I am not a lawyer). |

That sounds about right. The purchase permit was created before the NICS instant background check and Brady Bill's mandatory waiting period were put in place (I think it was Nov. 30 1998). So with NICS and Federal waiting period, MO purchase permit is an unnecessary redundancy. But of course it brings money to the Sheriff's Office. So it may be hard to make it go away. The question is .... does the Federal waiting period also applies to private sales? |

There is no Fed. waiting period. That went away with instant checks. It's been like this for years. In some states that already had an instant check in place, there was never any waiting period. And there is no MO waiting period either. Some counties won't issue the "permit to acquire" for a week making it a defacto waiting period, but there is nothing in the state law about an actual "waiting period". OTOH, some counties hand out the permit while you wait. |

Thanks for straightening me out. Learning something new everyday. Actually, that instant check simplifies things quiite a bit, doesnt it? |

It's not bull in the sense that a senator has pre-filed this bill. Whether it makes it any farther than that is impossible to know. It's got to get assigned to a committee and then brought up for debate there. Assuming it gets some traction in the Senate committee then the full Senate must vote on it. Assuming that happens then a similar bill must make it through the House of Representatives. Differences between the two bills have to be ironed out in conference committee. In short, a lot has to happen between Jan 3 and the middle of May for this to become reality. It could very well be just some bull if all of that doesn't happen. |
