Things like metro transit police and 7 rivers park district that are larger than a single county but smaller than the whole state. |

A good guess is close enough, on feds. even Post's numbers don't line up, but I expect that has to do with year to year changes. My primary objective was supportable number to get a ratio of carry permit holder to active sworn officers in MN. You guys are great! 1 % of MN residents is a permit holder 1/5 th of 1 % is an active LEO in MN |
