Platte County does not have gun registration but does require a permit for a handgun, Sheriff Tom Thomas reminded this week. The sheriff said a permit is required from the sheriff to buy, sell or loan a gun in Platte County. He explained the following procedure is used: A person wanting to buy, loan or sell a handgun comes to the sheriff’s office, and presents two personal references. The sheriff’s department runs a check on the person to see if they have a criminal record and also runs a check on the gun itself to see if it has ever been used in a felony, etc.
