I'm currently working a field assignment in Minnesota, so I decided to submit an application for a MN non-resident permit. On Saturday April 17th I attended a class in Pine Island Minnesota to satisfy the training requirement for the MN Permit to Carry. Minnesota requires applications to be submitted in person at the county Sheriff's office, which is only open from 8 to 5 Monday through Friday 9 (for permit applications). So today was the first day that my working hours would allow me to visit the Sheriff's office.
This morning I dropped off my application, along with my training certificate, at the Dakota County Sheriff office in Hastings, MN. My old MN non-res permit had expired, so I missed the renewal window. The only difference in Minnesota between applying for a new permit as compared to a renewal is $25. A renewal is $50, a new permit is $75 (some counties are more).
It's a bit of a pain in Minnesota because you have to submit the paperwork in person, Minnesota does not take applications in the mail. The nice thing is that a non-resident can submit the application in any county of his choice. The fee in Dakota County is $75. Some counties charge $100.
They told me it would take about 30 days for it to arrive in the mail.
There's a Cabela's not far from where I'm staying in MN, they offer the Utah class about one Saturday per month. I'm planning to take the Utah class in May.
