23-7-64. Revocation of gold card or enhanced permit to carry concealed pistol-Sheriff to secure return of permit--Petition for return of permit. A gold card permit to carry a concealed pistol or an enhanced permit to carry a concealed pistol is automatically revoked upon failure to maintain the requirements under § 23-7-7.1 or if the gold card or enhanced permit holder becomes prohibited by state law, 18 U.S.C. 922(g) as amended to October 26, 2005, or 18 U.S.C. 922(n) as amended to October 26, 2005, from receiving, possessing, or transporting a firearm.

Upon such occurrence, the permit holder shall immediately return the gold card or enhanced concealed pistol permit to the county sheriff of the permit holder's county of residence. If the permit has not been returned, upon learning that a permit holder is ineligible for a gold card or enhanced permit for any violent crime or for a crime punishable by more than one year of incarceration, the sheriff of the permit holder's county of residence shall secure the possession and return of the gold card or enhanced permit forthwith. For any other disqualifying offense set forth above the sheriff of the permit holder's county of residence shall secure the possession and return of the gold card or enhanced permit as soon as reasonably possible after being notified of the holders ineligibility. A gold card or enhanced permit holder whose permit has been secured by law enforcement under this section may petition the circuit court for the return of the gold card or enhanced permit if the permit holder believes the gold card or enhanced permit was unlawfully secured. Law enforcement may communicate with federally licensed firearms dealers relative to revoked gold card or enhanced permits.
