CWPs don’t expire during Renewal
S.91 would insert a new provision into state law stating a concealed weapons permit (CWP) remains valid while there is an application for renewal until the application is denied. This change would prevent CWP holders from losing their right to carry a weapon due to the State Law Enforcement Division (SLED) failing to process a CWP renewal application before the original permit expires. Citizens shouldn’t need express state permission to carry a weapon for self-defense but as long as they do the state can at least prevent citizens from losing this authorization due to bureaucratic delays.
