Specifies that the seller of ammunition must verify the age of the purchaser
HB 449 requires stores selling ammunition in Missouri to verify a buyer's age using photo identification that includes their date of birth before completing a sale. This applies directly to all ammunition retailers and the customers purchasing ammunition. The key provision mandates that retailers must check the purchaser's photo ID showing their birth date to confirm they meet the legal age requirement. The bill does not specify the exact age threshold but aligns with existing state laws governing ammunition sales.
