Lifetime Concealed Carry Permits May Be Coming To Missouri

By James England

JEFFERSON CITY, MISSOURI — No one will ever miss their concealed carry renewal deadline ever again if Missouri State Senator Dave Schatz has his way. This Missouri senator is proposing legislation which would in effect make a concealed carry permit issued in the state to last the lifetime of the concealed carrier. His rationale is that he wants to avoid the cost and hassle of renewing every five years — the current period for which a Missouri concealed carry permit is good for.

At present, every time a concealed carrier goes to renew his permit, Missouri conducts a full background investigation on the individual. This is largely unnecessary because the crime reporting system in the state automatically tracks and updates for individuals who have been indicted, arrested, or sent to prison. In effect, if you get issued a lifetime concealed carry permit in Missouri, it’s automatically revoked in the event of being indicted for a violent felony or misdemeanor domestic violence.
