MN Tactics: Professional, Comprehensive, Complete
If you have 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 is really 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. Those decisions are
nothing more than the recognition that your city's police, fire and EMS services are
not omnipresent, and will not suddenly materialize when you or your family 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>>

At Minnesota Tactics, we teach two courses which are designed to fit our

already have a basic familiarization with handguns and will be applying for their
Permit to Carry a Handgun for the first time; and the "Basic Handgun
Familiarization and Permit to Carry Combined Course" which is for students who
are inexperienced with handguns and would like a more in-depth review of the
basics, in addition to covering all Permit to Carry topics.
Each class's topics are explained with rich graphics, diagrams, and "hand's on"

graphically rich topics.

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:
- 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).
- Apply for your permit (in person) at your local Sheriff's office 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.
- 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."
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.
Which Other States Honor the Minnesota Permit?
Like all state-issued Permits to Carry a Firearm, the Minnesota Permit is
recognized and honored in a large number of other states.
Further, as of November 2014, our training is recognized in more than 25 states
as sufficient to get an actual permit from those state.

Excerpt: "I like this book so
much that I would be
absolutely thrilled to see one
published for each state.
Until Michael Martin makes
one of these books for my
state, I’ll be using this one as
an introductory text to the
fundamentals of concealed
carry for anyone who asks
me for a comprehensive
book covering what they
need to know. This book is a
great portable teacher."
