Gary, it was set to expire on 5/3/14. I got a notice from SLED sometime toward the end of January stating that fact, with instructions how to renew online and by mail. They made the whole process pretty easy... They also passed an order that is a temporary change to the law in 2014, and is posted on their website. (Whether they extend it to 2015 will remain to be seen, though you won't need it, probably.)
*Below is a temporary change in the concealed weapons permit law enacted during the 2013 legislative session. Temporary provisos are enacted in the State budget and are only effective for the State fiscal year (July 1 - June 30); unless re-enacted they expire on June 30, 2014.
62.22. (CWP Renewal and Replacement) A concealed weapons permit may not be suspended by a state official, agent, or employee supported by state funds if the permit holder has initiated a renewal or replacement application and the processing and issuance of a renewal or replacement permit is delayed for administrative reasons. A concealed weapons permit remains valid during the pendency of the renewal or replacement process so long as the application for replacement renewal is submitted prior to the expiration of the permit.
