Has anyone gone for a Minn carry permit? What county sheriff did you go to? I have taken a class and need to find a sheriff to go to. I am coming from the Milwaukee area. |

I have questions about this as well. If the OP has a problem with me asking here I will remove. Can a resident of WI get a permit to carry in other states that allow CC. I work in upper and lower MI, IL-which I know is out of the question, IN and OH all the time and I would really like to carry because of the nature of my job. Can this be done and how would one go about doing so. Thanks, Stang |

Last October I went to the Winona County Sherrif's office on a Thursday. The woman at the counter was very pleasant and couldn't have been more helpful. I handed in all the paperwork and requested documentation...I thought. On the following Tuesday I recieved an envelope from them and thought I was being denied. It was an apology from the woman I spoke with informing me that the background check release form was accidently left out of my application packet and she sent along a new one that I could fax in. In less than 30 days from the original submission of my paperwork my permit was in my hand. Two thumbs up for Winona County. |
Yes, as is evident from the original post. I also have taken the Minn course and am going to Minn in July to submit my paperwork for my permit. Henry teaches both Minn and Utah CCW courses. PM me for info. The only issue is that some states will only recognize resident CCW permits. I believe that MI will not recognize Non-Resident permits, so you are SOL for MI. |

1) Yes, WI residents can get MN permits. 2) Anoka county issues pretty quickly (doubly quick if your class is one from Defensive Edge, which is based in Anoka). 3) You must submit your non-resident CCW application in person within ONE year of taking the course. 4) FL, VA, NH, and PA will all also issue non-resident permits with no additional training. Some locales in PA want you to provide your non-res from another state first, as does NH. Both of the latter will run you about $20, while the former run ~$100. FL is the best "bang for the buck", with UT being close behind (UT requires a specifically-approved trainer from "the list", while FL will take any NRA or hunter safety course). I spend a lot of travel time both in VA and PA, so both of those were worth it to me to have a state-issued permit. NH requires their own in order to carry there, as does MN. Michigan, Florida, and Colorado will only recognize home-state permits, so we're out of luck even if they have reciprocity with the state that issued you a CCW (FL issues their own). WV is still a bit up in the air when it comes to recognizing VA-NR permits: They say they won't, but the law as written says they have to. I've been carrying on Non-Res permits for the better part of a decade now, so feel free to ask further questions... |
WI does NOT recognize CCW permits from any state except for thos Federally mandated for LEOs. WI is quite simply.... retarded. The attitude of many Chief LOEs is quite disturbing. It isn't hard to find some self-important blowhard to speak out against CCW. Even when the FEDERAL Law was passed (HR 218), they resisted the issuing of CCW permits to retired officers on the absolute Chicken Shit grounds of liability concerns.... That drunk bitch Lautenschlager refused to take a stand and instead told WI legislature that they needed to pass state legislation telling them how to implement it. The facts are that CCW legislation for all WAS passed and then was Vetoed by that Uber-Prick Doyle. Contrary to the belief of the pacifist sheep, apparently police officers are not trained well enough in firearms to be carrying one concealed because Chief LEOs want them to get additional training before they will issue CCW permits... Therefore, banning mere mortal civilians from carrying because the supremely trained LEOs can carry is bullshit.... |
There are none.
Centre County (where Penn State is). Denny Nau is the Sherriff there, and is a stand-up, pro-RTKBA guy.
I honestly can't remember about PA. New Hampshire doesn't require prints, but they do require that you have someone's permit before you get theirs. |
Thanks for all the info guys. I spend 80-90% of my time in MI so that sucks that Im SOL there. Are there ANY other options to carry legally in a state like MI? I'm not LE but my job is "high risk" and I would sure like to carry even in WI. What do armor drivers do to be able to carry? Thanks again, Stang |
Open carry with a armed guard permit while working. Off duty they are not allowed to conceal carry. |
I chose Winona after a friend of mine said his first attempt to get his permit in Houston was unsuccessful. IIRC they wouldn't accept a copy of his birth certificate and that he'd have to come back with the original so they could copy it, knowing he was from the Milwaukee area and he'd have to make another trip.hALL the required forms and proper documentaion before making the trip. |
I have a hard time believing they insisted on someone having their original birth certificate... a certified copy maybe, but the original?  I got mine in Houston county just a few months after the law was passed (the 1st time), so I'm due to renew this year. I've heard other good stories about Winona county though. |

Mustang, You should look into Pennsylvania and New Hampshire. $20 each , good for 5 years and EASY to get through the mail, No trips to the state needed. I can carry legally in 30 states with those 2 and my Connecticut non Resident (which I keep cause I spend a fair amount of time in CT) New Hampshire .... nh.gov/safety/divisions/nhsp/ssb/permitslicensing/documents/dssp260.pdf Pennsylvania.... co.centre.pa.us/sheriff/license_to_carry.pdf Indiana recognizes both. Here is a good site for checking reciprocity. I know I drove to florida last week and was good from Indiana all the way to Florida |
