Harris, 414 S.W.3d 447 (Mo.banc). (2015) Section criminalizing possession of a firearm by a convicted felon does not violate state constitutional right to bear arms. State. v. Merritt, 467 S.W.3d 808 (Mo.).

Once the two-month period has expired, the provisions of subsection 4 of this section shall apply except the penalties shall begin to accrue upon the expiration of the two-month period described in this subsection rather than on the expiration date of the permit or endorsement. (3) Beginning August 28, 2020, an active military member may complete the renewal of his or her endorsement or permit under subdivision (2) of this subsection * by mail. To renew an endorsement or permit by mail, an active military member shall mail to the sheriff who issued his or her permit a renewal application, a copy of his or her current concealed carry permit, a military identification acceptable for in-person renewal of permits, and the renewal fee.
