This bill proposes to revise the current concealed carry laws by extending the validity period of a concealed weapons permit from 4 years to 5 years. The amendment specifically targets Section 45-8-321 of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA), ensuring that individuals holding a concealed weapons permit will enjoy an additional year of validity before needing to renew their permit.

The change aims to simplify the renewal process for permit holders and reduce the frequency with which they must navigate the renewal system. By increasing the duration of the permit's validity, the bill seeks to enhance the convenience for responsible gun owners while maintaining the necessary regulations surrounding concealed carry.
