Federal age rules apply at a dealer: 21 for handguns and 18 for rifles and shotguns. Online orders ship to the Missouri FFL you choose, who runs the check and transfers the gun.
Dealers in these communities all work for Springfield-area buyers:
Missouri has allowed permitless concealed carry since 2017 for adults 19 and older (18 for service members and veterans) who can legally own a firearm. The optional concealed carry permit is issued by the sheriff of your county, here the Greene County Sheriff. Some cities limit open carry, and posted private property stays off limits.
Missouri's main firearms deer season is the November portion, with later antlerless and alternative-methods portions. Centerfire rifles and pistols with expanding bullets, shotguns with slugs and muzzleloaders are legal. Some counties require CWD sampling on opening weekend. Check the current Missouri Department of Conservation regulations.
Whitetail in the Ozarks are hunted in Missouri's November firearms season, on private land and Mark Twain National Forest.
Ozark oak ridges and river valleys around town hold whitetail and turkey, and lever guns are a favorite for the thick timber.
