Minnesota Permit

[Baja Daze]

I don't recall having ever seen a thread here pertaining to a Minnesota Permit, so does anyone here have a non-resident Minnesota Permit? I must admit that it does sound like a bit of a unicorn....

Apparently, Minnesota is shall-issue for both residents and non-residents with residents required to apply with their county Sheriff while non-residents can Sheriff shop like in Oregon and apply to any Sheriff they choose.

I may have to travel to the land of George Floyd and Burn, Loot, Murder a few times this year and don't want to go unarmed, however Minnesota does NOT honor the Kaliforniastan LTC or permits from Arizona, Florida and Utah. In fact Minnesota's record of honoring out-of-state permits is rather abysmal and they currently only honor 15 different state permits, including such powerhouse players like Delaware, New Jersey and Rhode Island.

The permit process looks fairly straightforward, however it appears that training must be done in Minnesota by a certified Minnesota instructor and applications must be submitted in person to the Sheriff. Based upon my potential travels and the info posted on their website, I am currently leaning towards applying with Dakota County.

Any info or feedback would be appreciated and hopefully somebody here has a Minnesota non-resident permit. Thanks!
