So have you selected an instructor/course, yet? Las Vegas, or Reno?
nope. I try to avoid it.Are you really sure you want to go to MN?? Have you read the news lately?
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.Are you really sure you want to go to MN?? Have you read the news lately?

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.
I doubt you would see any of the "personalities ".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.
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:
- Alaska
- Kentucky
- North Dakota (Class 1 License only)
- Delaware
- Louisiana
- Rhode Island
- Idaho (Enhanced permit only)
- Michigan
- South Carolina
- Illinois
- New Jersey
- South Dakota (Enhanced permit only)
- Kansas
- New Mexico
- 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.
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.
I think I just won't go to Minnesota.
How do they decide this? Is it an age thing or what?
Nevada has been withdrawn as a similar state because age 21 is no longer the minimum age for all permit applicants.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.
