I am not familar with the lifetime permit. What are the fees for one?

Depending on your age, probably a good choice to get the lifetime. It is $125 every 5 years plus class to renew.

Yes you still have to take the class every five years.

The lifetime is an expensive 5 year since you still have to take the class and send in every 5 years. Just don't have to pay for renewal.

I was reading all the info on the LSP website seems the only thing I would have to pay for after getting the lifetime is paying for the renewal class. Still not sure about it. But it would only be like 100 bucks for the renewal class instead of another 125 bucks for the renewal of it.

Getting a New Hampshire out of state CCW permit is easier, cheaper, and honored in LA.

I see an upcoming price war for CCW permits in the run up to national reciprocity. Also, I believe lifetime LA permits become invalid if you move out of state.

if you read the regs, the 5 year permit lets you bypass the NICS and the lifetime does not...
The passage of Act 221 of the 2014 Regular Session of the Louisiana Legislature amends La. R.S. 40:1379.3 to require the Department of Public Safety to conduct a check on every Concealed Handgun Permit applicant through the National Instant Background Check System (NICS) of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Pursuant to Act 221 of the 2014 Legislative Session, approval from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms has been obtained and possession of a current and valid 5-year Louisiana Concealed Handgun Permit, issued on or after March 9, 2015 shall constitute sufficient evidence of the background check required pursuant to 18 U.S.C. 922(t) for the purchase of a firearm, and may be used in lieu of a NICS check. However, as stated in Act 221, possession of a Concealed Handgun Permit that has a Lifetime designation shall not constitute sufficient evidence of the background check pursuant to 18 U.S.C. 922(t).

I got a lifetime permit since I am prior military and I wouldn't have to pay the fees for it. Did that mostly in case they decide to take away that privilege and start charging fees for it again.
Will still need to take a renewal class every 5 years and submit that to the LSP though.
OP, there is no advantage to getting the lifetime permit, and if anyone says there is, they are an idiot.
In Louisiana, as of March 9th, 2015, you can use your LA CHP in lieu of the NICS background check, ONLY if you have a 5 year permit. Lifetime permit holders can not use this method.
If you're a LA resident, you must have a LA CHP.

I think this about covers the answer.
Also, just a note, I strongly encourage everyone to be taking classes as frequently as $ allows that will help you hone your skills. The CHP class every 5 years is not enough.
I was going to respond to that then I got to your post. That Florida out of state permit stuff caught some of our LA people didn't it.
A ham guy was talking to Marliam and I about classes and he was going to get with Marliam about how to contact you.
That's good advice. I also recommend getting to the range as often as finances allow. Doesn't hurt to date and save the silhouettes either. God forbid you should ever need to use your firearm in self defense, but if you did it's good to show that you maintain proficiency.
Now all I have to pay for is the class.
