How long is a Missouri Concealed Carry Permit valid before it needs to be renewed?

  1. 3 years

  2. 5 years

  3. 7 years

  4. 10 years

The correct answer is: 5 years

A Missouri Concealed Carry Permit is valid for 5 years before it needs to be renewed. This option is correct because it aligns with the state's concealed carry laws. Option A, 3 years, is incorrect because that is the term for a Temporary Concealed Carry Permit, which is only issued in certain situations. Option C, 7 years, is incorrect because it is longer than the standard validity period stated by the Missouri Department of Public Safety. Option D, 10 years, is also incorrect because it is longer than the standard validity period. It's important to note that even if a permit holder has a valid permit for 5 years, the permit must be renewed before the expiration date in order to continue to carry concealed and avoid any legal penalties.
