HB 2181 -- Concealed Carry Endorsements

Sponsor:  Munzlinger

This bill changes the laws regarding concealed carry
endorsements.  In its main provisions, the bill:

(1)  Increases from three years to five years the period of time
from the date of issuance or renewal that a concealed carry
endorsement is valid;

(2)  Increases the fee that a sheriff must charge for processing
an endorsement renewal from not more than $50 to not more than
$75; and

(3)  Requires an endorsement holder to submit an affidavit prior
to January 1, 2011, and every three years thereafter, to the
Department of Revenue stating that he or she has reviewed the
state laws regarding firearms and the justifiable use of force.
If an affidavit is not returned by the required date, the
department will suspend the endorsement, send notice to the
holder, transmit a copy of the notice of suspension to the
appropriate local sheriff so that the driver's or nondriver's
license showing the concealed carry notation can be surrendered,
and report the status change to the Missouri Uniform Law
Enforcement System (MULES).  For processing the surrender of a
driver's or nondriver's license, the sheriff must charge a fee of
up to $25 which will be deposited to the credit of the sheriffs'
revolving fund.  If the department director reinstates an
endorsement after the affidavit requirements have been fulfilled,
he or she must return the license with the concealed carry
notation and notify the appropriate sheriff and MULES that the
endorsement has been reinstated.  Anyone failing to surrender his
or her driver's or nondriver's license with a concealed carry
notation when the endorsement has been suspended will be guilty
of a class C misdemeanor.
