About Our Company
At Conceal and Carry MN, our story began with a commitment to streamline the permit to carry process after our founder experienced a lengthy six-hour session with unnecessary add-on prices. We believe in cutting through the clutter and meeting the state’s requirements in a short, informative, and friendly manner. Our philosophy is simple: we value your time. We firmly believe that in-person permit classes should not exceed two hours, and online sessions should be completed within one hour, followed by a brief five-minute live fire qualification at the range.
We understand the difference between a permit to carry class that gives you an understanding of the laws and where you demonstrate safe handling of a firearm, versus next level training. That’s why we offer private lessons, ensuring you receive the necessary training to defend yourself and your family confidently. Plus, enjoy a discounted rate on private lessons after taking one of our permit classes. Welcome to a new era of efficient and effective training at Conceal and Carry MN!
