First of all, I'd like to say hello, been lurking here for several months now and I think I get the etiquette of the forum now.
Now, my question. I'll be moving to the USA sometime later this year, once I've navigated the immigration maze. (My wife is American, but we currently live in England, and once we've moved I will be a Lawful Permanent Resident). While we don't know for sure where we will settle down, the most likely destination is the Kansas City area, so I've been doing some research on firearm laws there.
As I understand it, if we live in MO, I will be prohibited from buying a handgun until I am a citizen. What I don't understand is whether that means anything when it comes to possession. For example, we won't be in Missouri at first so, if we were somewhere where it would be legal for me to buy a handgun and I did, what happens if we then moved to Missouri?
Thanks for any thoughts you have on this.
