Taking my son's guns to him in MO

[chuter]

Legal question for you guys.
My son owns an AR and a shotgun that he has kept at my house since he was living in OK.
He moved to MO several years ago and is now living there permanently.
Can I just drive his guns to his home in MO and give them to him, or is there more to it than that?
I don't think he has any receipts for the original purchase of them.

I've searched a bit and haven't found info on this particular situation.

Thanks!

I thought Missouri was wide open and don't give a hoot about gun laws. But I ain't no lawyer or nothing like that.

As long as he can legally own the guns, your fine.

Really, I figure if I don't get stopped on the way up there, no problem.
Of course I can prove he's my son and he did live in OK.

Q: May a person who is relocating out of State move firearms with other household goods?
Yes. A person who lawfully possesses a firearm may transport or ship the firearm interstate when changing his or her State of residence.

In MO you don't have to have papers to own a firearm, private transfers are legal without a background check, and they are not a sissy state that shudders at those scary black rifles with their big...er.. magazines. You're good to go. However, make sure the AR and shotgun is in a case, unloaded and in the trunk or rear part of your car, as that covers any and all transport laws for long guns.

As a matter of fact, you might be assisting your son to keep him legal and out of trouble.

Nothing wrong about that. I did the same thing when the wife and I were going to Branson for our initial Bluegreen visit and subsequent new owners orientation. Wanted to make sure I could transport my firearm with me. Best thing to do is look up their firearm laws and if in doubt call a local sheriff's office for guidence.

They might scold you for not having a gun in MO

We would go to wife's grandparents in Missouri 2 times a year to visit them. They have a lot of acreage and I took my guns.
Kids and everyone would shoot there and grandparents had guns also.
Never had any issues.
