Depends on the state. Usually, transporting a firearm with the bolt open, unloaded (with the ammo in a separate compartment of the vehicle), and unaccessable to the occupants of the vehicle (either by putting it in the trunk or by transporting it in a locked container) will have you in the clear for most states. You'll probably also want to put on a gun or trigger lock.
You states' laws may vary, of course."He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you."

Sorry, I don't know the specifics on Missouri law. Some states restrict possession of a handgun under the age of 21, no matter what its condition. Likewise, some states prohibit persons under the age of 18 to possess any firearm."He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you."

Hey, Thanks for the link first of all! I would like to say its really late and im tired but man was that kinda complex. I read as much as i could and the understanding i came to was.... as long as its not a readily weapon and is kept in the glove box of the passenger side of the vehicle it is ok for anyone, it doesnt specify an age?. Anyone over 21 does not have to worry about that, he can have it readily. so did i get that right or did i miss something big time?

Subdivisions (1), (5), (8) and (10) of subsection 1 of this section do not apply when the actor is transporting such weapons in a nonfunctioning state or in an unloaded state when ammunition is not readily accessible or when such weapons are not readily accessible. Subdivision (1) of subsection 1 of this section does not apply to any person twenty-one years of age or older transporting a concealable firearm in the passenger compartment of a motor vehicle, so long as such concealable firearm is otherwise lawfully possessed, nor when the actor is also in possession of an exposed firearm or projectile weapon for the lawful pursuit of game...
Basically... keep it in your trunk, unloaded, and cased and you should be fine. You can transport a concealable (key word) weapon in the passenger compartment if you have a ccw permit, but you have to be 21 or older. You can't transport any long-gun in the passenger compartment. If you don't have a permit, don't put it in your glove box... put it in the trunk.
Hope this helps.
