Minnesota Carry Strategery

[minuteman32]

So have you selected an instructor/course, yet? Las Vegas, or Reno?

Sir!

Probably going to complete my application at the Lincoln County Sheriff's office in Pioche. Training is pending waiting for a response from the sheriff. I'll go Las Vegas to one of the trainers with an indoor range who is on the Lincoln Co approved list.

Are you really sure you want to go to MN?? Have you read the news lately?

 

[EyeCarry]

nope. I try to avoid it.

Yeah I have to go to MN next week for work all week. Yay me. Makes me so mad I can't even carry there.

So, I'm still applying at the Lincoln Co Sheriff's office, but I have to work around their schedule. I'll be doing my training at The Gun Store in Las Vegas.

Did you stop by the Pawn Stars shop, and pick up a nice, historical firearm with which to do your training?

I hadn't considered it, but it might be fun to see how small it really is and how different the cast is when they are not scripted.

It is kinda cool to walk through their shop but the prices are retail.

I doubt you would see any of the "personalities ".

So . . . while life interfered with a journey to Nevada to enact my Minnesota Strategery, the state of Minnesota decided to remove Nevada from the list of license and permits they honor.

As of today, the list is limited to:

1. Alaska​
2. Kentucky ​​
3. North Dakota (Class 1 License only)
4. ​Delaware
5. Louisiana
6. Rhode Island
7. Idaho (Enhanced permit only)
8. Michigan ​
9. South Carolina
10. ​Illinois
11. New Jersey
12. ​South Dakota (Enhanced permit only)
13. Kansas
14. New Mexico
15. West Virginia (Regular permit only)

At this point, the best bet is North Dakota. The upside of that is that in Fargo, I could do the NoDak Class 1 training and test on one day, then a couple of days later do the Minnesota training.

What I've discovered since I've been working in Minnesota is a combined training class that gets you 4 state licenses: MN, WI, UT, and FL. Cost of the class is $100, doesn't include the application fees for each license, but an Indiana resident would not need WI, and if you get UT, you don't need FL either and end up with reciprocity in 1 more state.

So not a bad deal considering combined cost of training and travel compared to traveling to more distant states.

This reciprocity thing is almost becoming a racket. Personally I have always been an advocate of keeping the fed.gov out of licensing and let that differ to the states. But the states seem to manage to mess everything up. To be fair the feds would probably muff it up even worse.

Best license to have seems to be Kentucky. I really wish IN would get constitutional carry passed to roll back some restrictions. Then we could work on a voluntary license to add reciprocity to places like MN and SC. I have been content with maintaining my FL and UT licenses but the ball just keeps moving.

 

[Birds Away]

I think I just won't go to Minnesota.

How do they decide this? Is it an age thing or what?

If only we had a similar arbitrary patchwork for driver's licenses.

If I could get a Kentucky license, I'd already have it! Do they offer out of state now?

I think I just won't go to Minnesota.

That is my preference, but SWMBO . . . MBO.

You are correct!

From the Minnesota DPS website:

Nevada has been withdrawn as a similar state because age 21 is no longer the minimum age for all permit applicants. Minnesota law requires all applicants to be at least 21 years old, without exception.

I don’t know if KY offers non resident. I don’t think so. But it doesn’t solve the SC problem as they don’t recognize non-resident licenses. Only reason MN doesn’t recognize FL is because it doesn’t go through the state police. This reciprocity thing sucks.

Amen.

I can almost understand why states want permits and licenses they honor to be similar to theirs.

What makes no sense whatsoever is Illinois. They demand that a state's license or permit is similar to their not to honor that card, but as a requisite to apply for an Illinois license! WTF??? Why the hell does it matter if you would have to do their training and pass their background check just like each and every Illinois resident applicant? Obviously they want to give the appearance that they respect human rights,, but they clearly do not want people carrying guns. It's blatantly deceitful and unethical at best.
