Hello, I just moved here from Florida, (dont laugh too hard). I live near Buffalo, im told Minnesota does NOT share reciprocity with Florida concerning my CCW permit.
Where is the closest place to obtain a Minnesota CCW permit and how many hoops do i have to jump through? Thank You!

You will have to take a class from a Minnesota approved instructor (usually in the $100 range). Once you get your certificate of completion, take a copy of it and a copy of your driver's licence down to your local sheriff's office and apply. Here is a link that includes some information and the pdf of the application: http://www.dps.state.mn.us/bca/CJIS/Documents/CarryPermit/PermittoCarry.html
Application fee is usually $100. Welcome to Minnesota

I think most of the Gander Mountain stores have bulletin boards that list local CCW classes, too. Maybe the Cabelas in Rogers? I got mine by calling a few local gunstores and asking for recommendations. MN, despite the political climate, is actually pretty easy (now) to secure a CCW. Welcome friend! |

This isn't to far from you......little bit more expensive though:
http://www.monticellosportsmenclub.com/ This place is a little farther from you, but I highly trust some of their instructors since some are Police Officers and you will get solid information...........as well as its cheaper http://www.force-options.com/carry.html |

Gee, you can't go wrong with Defensive Edge. Otherwise, the Bill's Gun range class is good on knowledge for what it seriously lacks in practical range time. +1000 for this... I'd go with Defensive Edge, and then make sure you keep up your Florida Permit as a 'Non-Resident' and then you'll still have Reciprocity with all those other states!

skir, Welcome to "Da Freezer", ya shuure u betcha.
Defensive Edge is not your standard carry class. It's more of a practical handgun class. 2 hours classroom then on to the range for 5-6 hours and 350 rounds. Good basics whether your a novice or seasoned shooter. No pressure, take your time, hands on help....oh and fun.
