Bureau of Criminal Identification
Temporary Concealed Firearm Permits
The Bureau may issue a temporary permit to carry a concealed firearm to a person who:
- Has applied for a permit by complying with the requirements outlined for obtaining a new permit.
- Demonstrates good character; as defined in requirements for a new permit.
- Demonstrates in writing, to the satisfaction of BCI, extenuating circumstances that would justify issuing a temporary permit. The circumstances must show an immediate threat. General occupational hazards would not constitute grounds for a temporary permit.
A temporary permit will not be issued until preliminary record checks regarding the applicant have been made through NCIC and the division to determine criminal history.
A temporary permit is valid only for a maximum of 90 days or any lesser period specified by the division, or until a full permit is issued.
A temporary permit may be denied, suspended, or revoked if the commissioner determines:
- The circumstances justifying the temporary permit no longer exist;
- The holder has knowingly and willfully provided false information regarding his character;
- The holder does not meet the requirements for a full permit.
The denial, suspension, or revocation of a temporary permit shall be in writing and shall include the reasons for the action.
The licensing authority's decision to deny, suspend, or revoke a temporary permit may not be appealed to the board.
