Missouri Is Trying to Pass a Lifetime Concealed Carry Permit

I just heard on the news that Missouri is trying to pass a lifetime concealed carry permit. I am pretty excited about this because I have always felt that once you pass the requirements you should not have to keep renewing your permit. I welcomed the change from three years to five years for renewal. I feel that this is the next logical step. I think what has impacted this is finally some fear and stigma of people carrying firearms around is starting to diminish. This is just my opinion and I am sure that some people will be more than willing to point out flaws in my logic. I feel this way though because I have noticed that where there used to be signs stating no concealed weapons allowed have disappeared. I also think as the times have changed and what is unfortunately happening in our great country that it is becoming more and more apparent that law abiding citizens need to have a means to defend themselves always. We as citizens in the United States no longer can automatically assume we are safe no matter where we are at. So I personally believe that this is playing a role in it as well. I would like to see a law passed like Texas where we can open carry no matter where we are at. I would most likely still conceal my firearm but I am not opposed to going places and seeing everyone wearing a firearm.

As I hear more I will post it.
