MINNESOTA Law changes.  Here is a link to some changes to MN laws that can affect gun owners and MN permit holders.  Nothing very drastic for us non-residents but good to keep up on changes.

​

Never a bad idea to put renewal dates on some kind of electronic calendar that can prompt you when things come due.   5 years on most permits is a long time to remember renewals.  Minnesota renewals are coming due for many of you.  Take a look.

​

Adding a lot of private training to the calendar.  I will do private training for most of my courses but the cost for most of them will switch to a per hour basis if student minimums aren't met.  I can also take most classes to you if there are reasonable facilities to hold the class and travel costs are covered.

​

As of July 1, 2021 Iowa is a constitutional carry state.  This means so long as you aren't a prohibited person (felon) you can carry a loaded gun on your person in public without a permit in Iowa.  I suspect most prudent people will still get a permit to carry for a variety of reasons; so purchasing a gun is easier,  gain the multitude of other states you can carry in with an Iowa permit.  Then there is the Federal School Zone Gun Safety Act of 1990 that makes it illegal to be within 1000ft of a school with a loaded gun without a permit in your state.  In 1995 there was a case that the Supreme court looked at and the courts decided the School Gun Zone Act is unconstitutional but the law is still on the books. 

 

I've never believed that training should be required but always hoped the prudent person would seek it as there are many things to learn that may save your freedom or your life in a good class.   A good class is the key.  A couple hour online handgun safety class isn't going to help you much.
