Hey guys, I was wondering....
I moved in with my gf about 3 months ago, still haven't changed my address on the my drivers license and was recently thinking, "Oh, shit I have to change that." Then I got to thinking on top of that, "What if the address on the concealed carry license doesn't match my drivers license in the event I have to show it to a law enforcement officer? Do I need to change it, and if so how to I go about doing so?
Call them up to change the address. They will change it on there end, as long as their electronic records are correct, you don't need a new license. Now here is what is now funny, the past few days I have been seeing some new permits, with no address on it at all. There goes using that as a second ID.

Yeah no kidding lol. I've been here for 5 or 6 months now. My girlfriends address on her license is over 2 years out of date and she even got pulled over recently for a head light being out, but he didn't check. Just let her go.

I think I have a pamphlet from them laying around that probably has a contact number on it.

You can change it online. Don't ask me where, but when I moved I did it online. You're supposed to do it within 10 business days I believe.
The original card is good, as long as the new address is updated in their system.

Here is the direct link to change your address.

This is a firearms license not a drivers license. I think the penalties would be a little more harsh if you don't have the correct information at least linked to your ID.

You're right, but generally the penalties come from the state not local LEOs. The doesn't hear about it unless they're contacted and then they start an investigation prior to any penalties being handed down. There investigative process takes a while!

Hmm, you guys sure I don't need to somehow get a duplicate with a new address. That's what I had to do for the drivers license. I just don't want to mess around on this one.

Ever since I was in the Army, I've stuck with my HoR (Home of Record) address for everything and just list everywhere else I've been as a temporary address since I'm always renting and usually don't stay very long.
What matters most to federal and state is your "permanent residence". So until I go buy another house, every place in between is not my permanent residence. I have used this method with the DMV, IRS, Dept of Agri, US Army, cable & electric bills, car insurance, car loans, banking, and cell phone.
Typically a temporary residence is anything under 6 months. But if you don't know 100% for sure you'll be in that location 6 months from now, you can consider it a temporary location. That is how I state my residence for all matters and so far not a single argument has arisen in any legal matters.
Sure, the cops might have a hard time finding me... but that's called privacy and I enjoy it.

Well me too, but if I get pulled over and my mom's address is still on my ID, I get in trouble right? And even worse, if haven't change it on my ID or my conceal carry and I get caught carrying with either changed... then what?

Nothing. If you still receive mail at your mothers and all your legal business still gets sent there instead of your girlfriends apartment, then your mom's place is your HOR.
They can still call your mom's, send a letter there, or stop by to get a hold of you. Either your mom calls to say someone dropped off something for you, you got a letter, or someone called. The message still got to you. You are in violation if the old address is no longer a valid way to get a hold of you (like another family lives there now that doesn't know you).
It is much easier to keep all your important matters addressed to a HOR than to try to remember everything that needs to change every time you move.

Oh, well she's selling the house and moving soon, so I guess it's a good thing that I changed my address both at the DMV website, and the link Secpro provided. I'm going to be in this apartment at least another year or so. After my girlfriend graduates I want a house. Even if it's a rental. I can't wait to get back to blasting my Fender 1965 Twin Reverb without having to worry about neighbors hearing through the walls.
