Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon announced Tuesday that the Department of Revenue will no longer scan or retain certificates of qualification for Concealed Carry Weapon (CCW) endorsements.

The process of scanning the documents has come under fire in Jefferson City, after it was learned that the Missouri Department of Public Safety had shared the documents with a federal investigator.

“It has been determined that the scanning and retention of concealed carry certificates are not essential to the integrity of the license issuance process,” Gov. Nixon said. “We will continue to work with policymakers to ensure the security and privacy of our license issuance process.”
