Firearms: concealed carry licenses.

Summary

The bill lengthens the validity period for concealed‑carry licenses from the current two‑year maximum to three years for licenses issued in 2026 and to four years for those issued on or after 2027. It also adds a 90‑day, county‑only restriction for licenses granted because of a person's place of employment or business. These changes affect current and future license holders and the local licensing authorities that issue and renew them.
