Minnesota / IA/ WI / Florida Permit to Carry

This 6-8hr course is designed to exceed the legal requirements so that you can apply for your permit to your local Sheriff. If you're looking for a quick class, this is not it--it is the most comprehensive Permit to Carry class in Minnesota! During this course, you'll  learn about developing a personal protection plan, including understanding mental preparation and the "color codes of awareness"; you'll learn about the four legal "pillars" guiding the use of deadly force in MN; you'll study  pertinent MN statutes and how they apply to permit holders; and you'll also learn about conflict avoidance. We believe that our legal section is the best that Minnesota training has to offer, bar none.  We've developed this section into an incredibly helpful guide with a "key" on each page, identifying the key points to know for each pertinent MN statute. For those of you interested in broader carry privileges than afforded by the MN Permit to Carry, our curriculum is fully approved by FL and we offer application for that permit as part of our classes.
