MN Tactics: Professional, Comprehensive, Complete
If you've been thinking about applying for your Permit to Carry a Firearm (often
referred to as a "Concealed Carry Permit"), or are ready for your renewal, then
you've come to the right place. The decision to apply for a permit, and to
ultimately carry a handgun for personal protection is a big one, but no different
than other decisions you've already made for the protection of yourself and your
family, such as a decision to maintain smoke alarms and a fire extinguisher in
your home, or a decision to learn CPR (in Minnesota, you are twice as likely to be
a victim of violent crime than your are to die of a heart attack, and 440 times more
likely to be a victim of violent crime than to die in a house fire - see a side-by-side
comparison here). Each of these decisions is nothing more than the recognition
that your city's police, fire and EMT services are not omnipresent, and will not
suddenly materialize when you and your families are confronted by a fire, a heart
attack, or a violent crime.
If you've been telling yourself that you'd like to apply for your Permit to Carry "some
day", then don't delay any longer. Register today>>

How do I get a Permit to Carry a Firearm in Minnesota?
With the passage of the "Minnesota Citizens' Personal Protection Act" in 2003,
applying for a "Permit to Carry a Firearm" is very straightforward. Three simple
steps are required:
If you pass the background investigation, you should have your permit in the mail
within the 30 day time limit. If you are denied, our advice is to contact Marc Berris
of Segal, Roston & Berris at www.mngunlawyer.com. Marc is one of just a
handful of lawyers in Minnesota with substantial experience representing
firearms owners, both in connection with the defensive use of a firearm, as well
as in challenging denials of pistol carry permits.
applying for a "Permit to Carry a Firearm" is very straightforward. Three simple
steps are required:
- Attend a "Permit to Carry a Firearm" course, conducted by an instructor
certified by an organization approved by the Minnesota Department of
Public Safety (Minnesota Tactics is included on that list). Find the
complete here: DPS Approved List>> - Apply for your permit (in person) at your local Sheriff's office (addresses
here) by turning in four things:
- An accurate copy of your course completion certificate, confirming
that you have fulfilled requirement #1 above. - An accurate copy of your Government ID (such as a drivers license
or photo page from your passport). - A completed application, available here: Permit Application>>
- The application fee ($100 in most counties).
- The Sheriff has 30 days to conduct a background investigation using the
Minnesota Crime Information System, and any other local, state or federal
source that they deem appropriate. The Sheriff will deny your permit if they
believe you are ineligible to own a firearm; if you are listed as a gang
member; or if they believe you will be a "danger to yourself or to the public".
