Bill > HB328

This bill changes the law regarding firearm concealed carry permits in Missouri by introducing several key modifications. The legislation creates two new types of concealed carry permits: a Missouri lifetime concealed carry permit and a Missouri extended concealed carry permit (valid for either 10 or 25 years). The bill lowers the minimum age for obtaining a concealed carry permit from 19 to 18 years old and removes some previous restrictions related to military service. The new permits will be issued by county sheriffs after a background check and firearms safety training, with fees ranging from $200 to $500 depending on the type and duration of the permit. The bill also adds new provisions protecting permit holders' rights to carry concealed firearms on publicly funded transportation systems and expands the list of places where permit holders can carry firearms. Additionally, the legislation modifies existing regulations about permit suspension, revocation, and renewal, and provides more detailed procedures for challenging a permit's validity. The bill aims to make concealed carry permits more accessible while maintaining background check and safety training requirements.
