Post subject: | A question regarding MN permits / transfers |
I moved to Minnesota this fall from North Carolina and would like to get my MN permit. I have a North Carolina CCW permit, and took a fine, all-day training course in May of 2004 in NC. It was taught by a senior sheriff captain who had been doing training for a long time with several organizations. The course covered safety, legal and situational issues surrounding CCW and seems to be very similar to other courses taught by approved instructors. With my experience, I ended up helping out the instructor during the range qualification process. The Minnesota requirement for the permit is for a training course within the last 12 months, and clearly I had my last course 18 months ago. According to the BCA website: "26. After my five-year permit to carry expires, do I need to retake the approved firearms training class before I apply for a renewal permit? Yes. Applicants must present evidence that they have received training in the safe use of a pistol within one year of the date of an original or renewal application." My question is this: Does anyone offer a "transfer" or "renewal" course on the "safe use of a pistol" for people who have a valid permit and want to get one in Minnesota? I was thinking that this would be shorter and/or less expensive than doing another day course. Thanks for your help! |

Then again, folks looking to get the permits as inexpensively as possible won't be choosing my classes; I'm not sure if I'm the most expensive instructor in the state, but I'm certainly in the running. |
