HB 3195 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Requires that all sales or transfers of firearms be processed through a licensed firearms dealer

HB 3195 requires that all private firearm sales or transfers between individuals must be processed through a licensed firearms dealer. This applies to non-dealer transactions, mandating background checks via dealers (per federal law) and capping fees at $35 for single guns or $50 for multiple firearms. The bill includes exceptions for law enforcement, military transfers, gunsmith repairs, family gifts (first-degree relatives), and certain business activities. Violations are classified as class B misdemeanors, with dealer violations reported to federal authorities. It directly affects private sellers/buyers and dealers facilitating these transactions, but does not apply to existing dealer sales or the listed exceptions.
