handgun owners to obtain lifetime gun permits instead of having to renew 
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 
popular in Missouri as other states, but guessed it had something to do 
with state culture. While he concedes that a few of the more populous 
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.
