every four years is proving popular. People now have the option of
purchasing a four-year permit for $40 or a lifetime permit for $100
($125 if they're not a current holder of a gun permit).

Missouri CCW Applications Below Expectations: A captain on the Missouri
Highway Patrol said he didn't know why concealed-carry permits aren't as

counties refused to issue for at least a year, he fails to mention that
it is also legal for Missourians to carry on out-of-state permits and
that doing so does not show on one's driver license, as does an in-state
CCW endorsement.
