HB 2713 Missouri House · 2024 Regular Session

Changes the law regarding the sale of firearm ammunition

HB 2713 establishes a licensing system for the sale of firearm ammunition in the state, requiring most sellers to obtain a license from the secretary of state starting September 1, 2024. The bill creates specific exemptions for licensed hunting and shooting clubs, certain nonprofit organizations, and individuals who sell a limited number of rounds to vendors annually. Licensed sellers must verify that buyers are not prohibited by law or court order from possessing firearms, and the law mandates face-to-face transactions for most sales while allowing online orders only if the ammunition is delivered to a licensed seller for verification. Additionally, the bill restricts the transport of out-of-state ammunition into the state unless it is first processed by a licensed seller to confirm the buyer's eligibility. Violations of these new requirements are classified as misdemeanors, with penalties varying based on the specific offense.
