Here is a list of the top 5 reasons why you should get your Minnesota Permit to Carry:
1. Your permit to carry is good for 5 years and you can use it to buy a gun for that time too. This is in contrast to a permit to purchase, which is only good for 1 year.
2. Learn the laws so you know what you can and cannot do to protect your family and yourself. For example, do you have the duty to retreat? What if you’re at home? These questions and more will be answered during your class.
3. Basic marksmanship is included in your training. Ok, so you’ve got skills. Like mad skills. But maybe shooting isn’t one of them yet. Well, no worries. In Minnesota, it is required to have a live-fire portion for shooting in the qualification.
4. Learn about transporting versus carrying a firearm. What if you found out the way you brought that gun home from the gun store or to the gun range was illegal? You’d be worried – but worry no more. We will teach you how to make sure you don’t accidentally break the law and the right way to transport your gun.
5. Getting your permit to carry is one of the first steps on the path to responsible gun ownership. Let’s be honest, it’s America, and owning guns is in our DNA. However, in order to own them responsibly, you must get the proper training.
