| I had my MN CPL while I was in college. I was attending a school out of state but still retained my MN residence. This past January I became a MI resident. I am now moving back to MN. The MN cpl expires in 2011. Because I changed my residency to another state, do I need to again take a certified cpl clas and reapply for my CPL? If so, I took a cpl class here in MI sometime in June. Could I use that certification or does it need to be a MN course? One thing I never thought of until recently was: am/was I supposed to notify the MN county my CPL was issued in of my change in residency and forfeit it to the sheriff when I changed states? |

Check with your local Sherrif to be sure. But yes, you're required to notify them of any ddress change. THIS IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE: However, Since it's still valid, you should be able to do a change of address form, listing your new MN address. I believe the cost is 6 bucks. Your carry permit was/is still good. The only thing you didn't do was update your address. You can be a non resident and have a MN carry permit. |

Yes, notify the ISSUING SHERIFF of your address change. You may get a new card printed, if you wish. I suggest that you get the new card printed, it is a cheap way to aviod any possible hassle.
I do not know what happens to your permit status if you do not notify the issuing sheriff within 30 days of a residence change. |

Your DL and carry permit address must match. It took less than 5 days for my new card to come after I moved. Bad thing is, they keep your old one, so you have no permit while waiting for your new one. |

That is a bunch of shit. As far as not having your actual card, you can still carry without the physical card. |

The way I read it, if you get stopped and don't have your permit it is a misdemeanor and a fine You better re-read the regulations 
Subd. 1b.Display of permit; penalty. (a) The holder of a permit to carry must have the permit card and a driver's license, state identification card, or other government-issued photo identification in immediate possession at all times when carrying a pistol and must display the permit card and identification document upon lawful demand by a peace officer, as defined in section 626.84, subdivision 1. A violation of this paragraph is a petty misdemeanor. The fine for a first offense must not exceed $25. Notwithstanding section 609.531, a firearm carried in violation of this paragraph is not subject to forfeiture.

Quoted:The way I read it, if you get stopped and don't have your permit it is a misdemeanor and a fine...
If you read the next sentance  , you'll see:
(b) A citation issued for violating paragraph (a) must be dismissed if the person demonstrates, in court or in the office of the arresting officer, that the person was authorized to carry the pistol at the time of the alleged violation.
So it works like an insurance card, if you don't have it the officer can still verify if you have a valid permit or not, and if you show up at the police station and show them your permit they will dropped the violation. If you don't have your permit the officer can not confiscate your firearm. I do not advise anyone to not carry their permit and a DL with their firearm, but in this case the Saint Louis county sheriff is playing games and it is pathetic. ETA: in re-reading that part it seems to me (IANAL) that if the police officer is able to call in and find out if the permit is valid than he can't issue a citation because it would have been demonstrated to the officer that the person is "authorized to carry the pistol." |

....................., but in this case the Saint Louis county sheriff is playing games and it is pathetic.
That it is. I guess I need to review the statute again. Not only was I told by the records dept (where they issue the MNPP permits) that the address' had to match, I was also told it would be illegal for me to carry while waiting for my new card to arrive. Seems like the sherrif needs some schoolin up here in the law/ |
