Since August 28, 2007, you no longer need a permit to transfer when purchasing a firearm; you will go into a gun shop and make your purchase. At that time, the dealer must contact NICS (National Instant Criminal Background Check System), and you must complete the BATF form 4473 before you take possession of the firearm. Individual-to-individual transactions within the state will not require a permit to transfer. Transactions involving the purchase of a firearm from another state still require that the handgun is transferred to a Federal Firearms Licensed (FFL) dealer in Missouri, and then the purchaser picks up the firearm from that dealer.
