Unfortunately, that wouldn't work. BATFE's regulations require an expiration date on the license and the license cannot have a valid duration that exceeds five years.

Re: HB3777
If DPS automatically ran a NICS check on every lifetime CHL holder every five years, wouldn't this solve the gun-purchase and reciprocity questions? Frankly, I think this is the way they ought to do it anyway, at least until the 2A actually becomes recognized as a carry permit, like Vermont.
Essentially that's what happens now -- the renewal paperwork seems primarily geared toward making some prosecutor's job easy, since by initialing and signing a bunch of stuff and taking the class I think all you are doing is acknowledging you know the law so he can point at it in court and say "See! You knew the rules!" Could solve the backlog and save the state money on permanent employees and contracted help by just running the NICs every five years and updating addresses from the driver's licence or state ID renewals.
Just a thought...
