Missouri Firearm Bill of Sale
To prove that there has been a sales transaction involving the buying, selling, and transfer of title of a firearm from one party to another, a Missouri gun bill of sale is drawn. It is a formal document that contains vital details about the person buying, the person selling and the object of sale (firearm). It has to be signed and stamped on in the presence of approved persons to prove its legality.
