Minnesota no longer recognizes Utah
Husker_Fan:
I was just up there last month and had no idea. This was the main reason I got a UT permit as I travel to Minnesota on business several times per year.
My recollection is that Nebraska's reporting of prohibited persons based on mental illness doesn't line up with Minnesota's.
rudy:
Hmm, this really sucks. I have family in MN and travel there frequently and carry using my Utah permit.
The MN law changed the requirement of the reciprocal state's law from being "substantially similar" to simply "similar". I wonder if that would qualify the NE permit for MN recognition?
I am now considering a MN non-resident permit, but that is a pain in the butt because you have to submit the permit in person...I am generally in MN for holidays and such when the sheriff's offices are closed.
I am thinking more seriously about getting an IL non-resident permit now, since MN recognizes IL.

Unfortunately NE residents CANNOT get an Illinois non resident permit...
Only residents of the following states have been determined by ISP to be substantially similar to IL in CC requirements: Hawaii, New Mexico, South Carolina and Virginia.

This gives some information on this issue. But it doesn't say why the state doesn't recognize Nebraska permits. Based on the information given though I'm guessing someone here who knows more than I do about our permit system can figure it out, and maybe we can find a way to resolve it.

Thanks for the info.
It seems silly to me that they will only issue non-resident permits to residents of states with substantially similar laws to IL. If a non-resident is going to sit through a 16 hour IL carry permit class with only IL state information being presented, what bearing would their home state's laws have on carrying in IL under IL laws? It's nonsense.
Oh well, guess I will have to get a MN non-resident permit.

I would like to see NE's permit recognized by MN, but that probably isn't going to happen. I am surprised that MN got around to reviewing its reciprocity list. When I was living in MN and held a MN PTC, the law stated that the commissioner of public safety was to review the reciprocity list annually, which wasn't ever done--making many permit holders mad. Evidently changing the phrase in the law from "substantially similar" to "similar" prompted the review.
