CONCEAL CARRY CLASSES
IN BURNSVILLE, MINNESOTA

Burnsville, MN Permit to Carry Class

This is a legal class and not a handgun instruction course. If you’re not familiar with the proper safe handling, including shooting of your firearm, or need a refresher, we strongly encourage you to enroll in our Intro to Pistol Class prior to taking the Permit to Carry course.

4 Hour Duration

$99.00 Includes Firearm Rental, Target, and Certificate of Certification

1. Permit Requirement

  • In Minnesota, a permit is required to carry a handgun in public, whether concealed or openly. This is known as a “Permit to Carry a Pistol” (PTC).
  • There is no requirement for the firearm to be concealed; open carry is allowed with a valid permit.

 

2. Eligibility Criteria

To obtain a permit, applicants must meet several requirements:

  • Be at least 21 years old.
  • Be a U.S. citizen or a permanent resident.
  • Not be prohibited from possessing a firearm under state or federal law.
  • Complete an approved firearms training course within the past 12 months.

 

3. Application Process

  • Applications must be submitted to the sheriff’s office in the county of residence.
  • The applicant must provide a completed application form, proof of training, a photo ID, and the required fee.
  • The sheriff has 30 days to process the application and conduct background checks.

 

4. Validity and Renewal

  • Permits are valid for five years and can be renewed.
  • Renewal requires completing another approved training course and submitting the renewal application before the permit expires.

 

5. Reciprocity

  • Minnesota recognizes permits from certain other states, and residents of those states can carry in Minnesota as long as they abide by Minnesota’s laws.
  • However, permit holders from other states should check for reciprocity agreements, as these can change.

 

6. Restrictions and Prohibited Places

Even with a permit, there are certain places where carrying a firearm is prohibited, such as:

  • Schools and school buses.
  • Courthouses and certain government buildings.
  • Licensed daycare centers
  • State hospitals (psychiatric hospitals)
  • Corrections facilities
  • Military bases / properties
  • Security zones (TSA) 

 

7. Duty to Inform

Minnesota does not have a “duty to inform” law, meaning permit holders are not legally required to inform law enforcement that they are carrying a firearm during a traffic stop or other encounter. However, it is generally considered a good practice to do so.

 

8. Use of Deadly Force

Minnesota follows the “castle doctrine,” allowing the use of deadly force in certain circumstances, such as defending oneself in their home. However, the state does not have a “stand your ground” law, meaning there is a duty to retreat, if possible, before using deadly force in public.

These laws can be subject to change, so it’s important to stay informed and consult legal counsel or local authorities for the most current information.

I had an amazing experience in the defensive pistol skills class- specifically the low light class where you have the opportunity to become more familiar with your surefire light on your handgun- in low and no light situations! Utilizing specific type of scenarios where you would need to use a light on or with your handgun this class was amazing!! Matt Strong and DJ were able to skillfully communicate how important gun safety is! This class is extremely fun and important! If you are interested in successfully being able to develop your desired handgun skill set in a safe, calculated and experienced manor.

Fantastic business if you like to shoot. Exceptionally well run with nice, knowledgeable staff, great classes (I took a carry class) and a fair price for a fun indoor shooting range. Very quick turnaround with transfers and fair transfer fees. I highly recommend!

I took the Defensive Carbine class led by Lef. He was a blast to work with! He was very personable, knowledgeable, and to the point with no BS. Many instructors will tell you that there is only one way to do things and that’s it. I felt that Lef took a more “big picture” and realistic approach in regards to how to use a carbine. He made sure we understood the basics and the ideas behind each method. Would definitely recommend taking full advantage of all the classes TMS has to offer. Thanks again Lef, Joe, and the rest of the Modern Sportsman team!

I have taken 3 firearms classes at Modern Sportsman. Every course has been excellent. DJ is a fantastic instructor, and the skills he teaches are skills every gun owner should learn. Thank you Modern Sportsman, and thank you DJ, for creating a great learning environment.
