Minnesota Permit To Carry – November 5

Saturday, November 5 at 1:00 pm

Our course meets the requirements to apply for your Minnesota permit to carry. This Minnesota BCA-approved course consists of a classroom component and a 30 round shooting proficiency live-fire qualification.

We cover mandatory and pertinent topics such as:

• Firearm safety rules
• Mindset
• Statutes on justifiable taking of life
• Safe storage requirements
• Elements of self-defense
• Stand your ground
• Castle doctrine
• Restrictions on carrying a firearm
• Handgun selection
• Ballistics considerations
• Shooting fundamentals
• Interacting with police
• Permit to carry requirements and restrictions
• MN Permit application details
• Permit reciprocity
• Self-defense insurance

The Minnesota Permit to Carry class will enable you to apply for your Minnesota Permit.  It is also a great gun safety class.  Gun safety and proper mindset are key components to the class. This class will also qualify for a non-resident Florida Concealed Weapon License. The Florida license gives you greater reciprocity if you plan to travel with a firearm.

You do not need a gun to take advantage of this class. 

We can arrange a loaner firearm in 9mm or .22LR.  If you go through with getting your Permit to Carry, your permit will act as your Permit to Purchase.  Minnesota law requires a Permit to Purchase or a Permit to Carry in order to buy a handgun or an “assault rifle”.

What do I need to bring to the class?

• Identification (Driver’s License)
• Class fee – $95 (bring your spouse or significant other for $65!)
• Firearm with 30 rounds of ammunition, or arrange for a loaner
• Ear protection and eye protection; the range has loaner protection for free
• A willingness to learn!

Class location – Prior Lake VFW, 16306 Main Ave SE (see map below)
