Introduced

SB 1026 - Under current law, concealed carry permits must be renewed once every five years. This act allows a Missouri resident who meets the requirements for a concealed carry permit and pays a $200 fee to receive a concealed carry permit that lasts for the duration of the person's life. Such a permit does not need to be renewed every five years and is valid throughout the state of Missouri.

The lifetime permit is still subject to the same suspension and revocation provisions that apply to permits that expire. Instead of an expiration date, a lifetime concealed carry permit must include a statement that the permit is valid only throughout the state of Missouri.

If the holder of a lifetime concealed carry permit becomes a resident of another state, the permit is suspended. It may be reactivated if the permit holder reestablishes Missouri residency, meets the requirements for a concealed carry permit, pays a $50 fee, and passes a name-based criminal background check.
