Non-resident eligibility questions?

[crazyhawk99]

I am hoping someone in the know will be able to answer a couple of questions, thus saving me a potentially expensive international phone call.

I am recently retired US military, currently working as a US govt civilian for the US Dept of the Army in Germany.
I am legal US citizen and my legal residence is in Missouri.

I would like to confirm that although I currently reside out of the US, that I am still eligible to apply for a Maine CCW. In the event that I am not eligible, I would like to save the application fee/process.

Thanks in advance!

Since your legal residence is MO I don't see there being a problem.

I picked up my FL non-resident, a nice additoin to the AL resident permit I already had.

If you also know what is the Length that the Permits are Valid for???? Connecticuts' is Valid for 5 Years and they are supposed to send you a Renewal Notice 90 Days before it's Expiration.....

It seems that I was in error. Thank you for the clarification.

ME permit is good for 4 years.

I looked at the ME, and it would add nothing to my permits except ME. I think for the $$, the FL non-resident is the way to go. It is valid for seven years, and my inital cost last year was $140, much easier than my local ANNUAL renewal process. Proof of training is required, if you are former military your DD-214 satisfies this requirement. Another thing I like, if you are Law Enforcement, Corrections, or Fire Service, you can request the exemption to the public records. I checked the states last night, and recently NM was added to the states that accept the FL permit. You can request a complete packet from FL, or you can download the paperwork on line. They have an exceptional packet with clear, concise instructions. Quite an amazing feat from a government agency!
