Bill > HB2265

This bill changes Missouri's laws regarding firearm concealed carry permits, introducing significant modifications to the existing legal framework. The bill creates two new types of concealed carry permits: a Missouri lifetime concealed carry permit and a Missouri extended concealed carry permit (valid for 10 or 25 years), which can be obtained by Missouri residents who meet specific eligibility criteria. Key changes include lowering the minimum age for obtaining a permit from 19 to 18 years old, simplifying the application process, and creating new provisions for permit holders. The bill also adds a new section (571.128) that protects permit holders' rights to access publicly funded transportation systems while carrying a concealed firearm. Additionally, the legislation updates various sections of Missouri law related to firearm possession, including modifications to statutes about weapon restrictions in public spaces, bus terminals, and other locations. The bill aims to expand concealed carry rights while maintaining certain safety restrictions and background check requirements for permit applicants.
