“Are there any other additional costs for the MN Permit to Carry live fire qualification?”

Yes.  There are additional fees for the live fire qualification portion of the MN Permit to Carry course. Each instructor collects a fee for the live fire qualification directly and typically ranges between $39 and $50.

In addition to the instructor fee, you will also be responsible for any range fees, ammunition, and firearm rental (if needed). We recommend contacting your selected chosen Gun Permit Center instructor in advance to confirm all associated costs and ensure you are prepared for the live fire session. This qualification is a required step to complete your permit to carry application.

“What are the benefits of having a Permit to Carry a Handgun?”

A Permit to Carry a Handgun provides several key benefits:

• The permit is valid for 5 years.
• It legally authorizes you to carry a loaded or unloaded handgun on your person or in your vehicle, enhancing your personal safety.
• The permit also doubles as your Permit to Purchase a handgun, streamlining the process of acquiring firearms.
