π¨ Big News for Missouri CCW Holders! π¨
As of May 23, 2025, the U.S. Department of Justice now recognizes valid Missouri Concealed Carry Permits as an exemption from the FBI NICS background check during firearm purchases. π
Hereβs what that means for you:
β
You still fill out a Form 4473 when buying a firearm
β
But we no longer need to submit your info to the FBI for a background check
β
This applies only if you have a current, valid Missouri CCW permit
This change speeds up the buying process and keeps your info out of the federal background check system. ππ¨
FAQs:
β What if my CCW Permit or Certificate is expired?
If you took your class with us, we keep records for 4 years. We can reissue your certificate for a $20 replacement fee β no need to retake the course!
β Itβs been over 4 years β now what?
Youβll likely need to retake the class. Contact us to check your status.
β I usually get delayed when buying a gun β will this still happen?
Nope! With a valid Missouri CCW, we can transfer the firearm on the spot β no delay, no NICS check.
β Is this DOJ policy legit?
Absolutely. Weβve received written and verbal confirmation from the St. Louis ATF office.
β Can I use an out-of-state CCW?
Right now, only Missouri residents with Missouri permits qualify. Weβre watching for updates!
β Iβm 19 with a CCW β can I now buy a handgun?
Sorry, federal law still requires you to be 21 to purchase a handgun from a licensed dealer.
