RLMoeller:
This is what I got back from Suzanne Cellette in MN:
The list of out of state permits valid in Minnesota was last reviewed in June of 2009. A committee looks at the requirements each state has for their permit to carry. They look at what education or classes are required, if the individual is required to do some type of practice shooting, what content is required to be covered in the class materials. etc. Then, if those requirements are the same as the Minnesota statutory requirements, they will recognize a permit to carry issued by that state. The states that MN recognizes are posted on the BCA website and the list is reviewed annually and updated as needed.
Anyone else get a response from Minnesota yet?
Dan W:
None here. The request I made was to include Nebraska in the review that is upcoming this June.
I don't think during the last review Nebraska had a reciprocity clause in our statute
Husker_Fan:
No, we did not since LB430 had not gone into effect.
We now have reciprocity and recognize MN permits. I'm sending a message that goes down the list on the MN DPS website of what they look at.
--- Quote ---Minnesota law requires that states must have substantially similar standards in order to be granted permit to carry reciprocity. In determining which states currently meet that standard, the Department considered a number of components of the new law, including handgun training requirements, use of criminal background checks, mutual reciprocity issues, as well as prohibitions for criminal convictions and civil commitments. Another crucial consideration was other states? ability to provide Minnesota law enforcement personnel with confirmation of permit validity 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
--- End quote ---
I think we meet all of these including the ability to confirm permit validity because the state patrol links CCW status to the driver's license abstract at the DMV. Running a DL will notify an LEO of the status of any CCW permit.
Dan W:
Yes, I agree that we should be good to go in the next review period, so lets keep some pressure on to get the review on the front burner
