I was checking on the changes of the concealed carry law and this caught my eye(the red highlighted part). Am I interpreting this correctly to mean a firearms training course will be now be accepted even though a person had taken a that course in years past, before the CCW law was voted on and passed?
WEAPONS - (Section 571.020 RSMo.) Currently, a person commits a Class A misdemeanor if he or she possesses, manufactures, transports, repairs, or sells a switchblade knife. The bill limits the prohibition to when the activity involving a switchblade knife violates federal law and makes the crime a Class C felony. CONCEALED CARRY ENDORSEMENTS - (Sections 571.030, 571.037, 571.101, 571.111, and 571.117 RSMo.) The bill lowers the age at which a person can obtain a concealed carry endorsement from 21 to 18 years of age if the person is a member of the United States Armed Forces or is honorably discharged from the United States Armed Forces and is a citizen of the United States and has assumed residency, is stationed in Missouri, or is the spouse of the member stationed in Missouri and is 21 years of age. Any person who has a valid concealed carry endorsement and is lawfully carrying a firearm in a concealed manner may briefly and openly display the firearm to the ordinary sight of another person, unless the firearm is intentionally displayed in an angry or threatening manner, not in necessary self-defense. A person can receive a concealed carry endorsement without meeting the current requirements if he or she submits a copy of a certificate of firearms safety training course completion that was issued on or before August 27, 2011, if it met the requirements that were in effect on the date it was issued. The provisions of the bill regarding the regulation of fireworks and the provisions regarding receiving a concealed carry endorsement if a person passed the training course requirements on or before January 27, 2011, contain an emergency clause and went into effect July 10. |
Thanks!!!!!

Quoted: Quoted: As long as it was a MO CCW course. the law was changed in 2011 to require more rounds to be fired, if you took the course before the change of the law, you can still use that form for a ccw. It was the 10 hour, NRA Basic Pistol Course. GTG??? Not unless they covered all the applicable MO laws and the course, and instructor, are on the MO list of approved courses and instructors for CCW classes. You're most likely still going to have to take a MO approved CCW course. |

I actually took the course in 12/1998 in anticipation of Prop B passing. It would have been an approved course IF that law had been passed. It's not so much taking a course again that bothers me any chance to shoot is OK by me, it just the extra cost. I guess I'm sometimes as tight as my German Grandpas!!!!:/ |

So I just found my certificate for my CCW class back in 2008. I can use it? You should be able too as long as you are renewing. If not you will need to take the class again as it expires. It shouldn't expire. Colorado is the only statre I have come across so far that has a time limit––get the permit within 10 yrs of taking the class. The new law signed in July should have grandfathered that certificate, so the new round count shouldn't affect it. |

If the sheriff gives you any grief refer them to SB489 HERE Training requirements for concealed carry endorsement applicants were increased in HB 294 (2011). This act adopts a grandfather clause for those who were issued a firearms safety training certificate prior to the date the standards were increased, so these certificate-holders can receive a concealed carry endorsement without having to retake a training course.
