Any permit shall automatically become invalid for any of the following reasons:
1. the permit is altered in any manner;
2. the permit is lost or stolen;
3. the permittee is carrying it while under the influence of alcoholic beverages or a controlled dangerous substance; or
4. the permittee ceases to reside within this state.

An otherwise lawful permit shall be considered automatically suspended and not
valid while the permittee is under the influence of alcoholic beverages or a controlled dangerous
substance. For purposes of these rules and the applicable law, a permittee shall be
considered under the influence as evidenced by a blood alcohol reading of .05 grams percent
or greater by weight of alcohol in the blood, or when a blood test or urine test shows any confirmed
presence of a controlled dangerous substance as defined in R.S. 40:961 and 964.
