How long is a Kentucky CCDW permit valid before it needs to be renewed?

  1. 1 year

  2. 3 years

  3. 5 years

  4. 10 years

The correct answer is: 5 years

A Kentucky CCDW permit is valid for a period of 5 years before it needs to be renewed. This option may seem like the longest time frame, but it ensures that permit holders continue to meet the state's requirements and remain knowledgeable about state laws regarding carrying a concealed weapon. Option A, 1 year, would require frequent renewal and could inconvenience permit holders. Option B, 3 years, may seem like a reasonable time frame but is not the correct answer. Option D, 10 years, may seem like the most convenient option, but it is too long of a time frame to ensure that permit holders are up to date with any changes or updates in state laws. Therefore, option C, 5 years, strikes a balance between convenience and staying current with state laws.
