HB 698 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Specifies that the seller of ammunition must verify the age of the purchaser

HB 698 requires retailers selling ammunition to verify a purchaser's age using government-issued photo identification that includes the buyer's date of birth. This rule directly affects gun shops, sporting goods stores, and other businesses that sell ammunition. The bill mandates that sellers confirm buyers meet the age requirements set by federal law before completing a sale. It does not change federal age limits but ensures state-level compliance with existing federal standards.
