In case your interested, I got an answer from MN directly.

Subject: Your MN Permit to Carry Question
Dear Mr. X:
Thank you for your email in which you ask why NE gun permits are not recognized in Minnesota. The reason is that NE has adopted the federal standards for issuing permits to carry that do not have any restrictions regarding alcohol use or confinement for chemical dependency. Minnesota requires proof of successful treatment if one is so confined or committed. See Minn. Stat. § 624.713, subd. 1(5). Consequently, NE and MN laws are not similar and reciprocity is not be allowed. See Minn. Stat. § 624.714, subd. 16. If MN’s 2015 reciprocity review analysis was in error, please let us know. We appreciated hearing from you.

Things like this are why national reciprocity is necessary: too many states treat bearing arms as a privilege instead of the right that it is.

I agree with you 100%. Problem is that there are too many politicians that read into the current laws and understand what they want and it will go nowhere. Look at what happened here with LB289. Omaha and Lincoln politicians killed it because if their lame reasons. Then there is Chambers and his BS. Sorry to rant but that just upset me how it all went down.

I was not very pleased with that to say the least, especially since my state senator, Kathy Campbell, who calls herself a Republican, stood with the Chambers gang.  This shows the importance in getting not only Democrats defeated but also making sure the Republican Party stops nominating RINOs, who have no loyalty to America and no backbone.  It just shouldn't be too much to expect those in the legislature to do what they swore an oath to do when they took office.

It appears you received a rather idiotic answer from someone completely IGNORANT on the reasons and was thus provided an absolutely illogical and wrong answer.  Federal standards for issuing permits ??? HUH ????  Did I miss something?  I was unaware that the Feds issued carry permits.   The reasons are due to our training standards (didactic and range) and theirs ...  this is nothing new ....  really that simple.  Nebraska's CHP rules and regs are  crafted by NSP based upon the statutes passed by the Unicameral and signed into law.
