May 2025: New Age Limits, Specialty Classes and So Much More!
May is Mental Health Awareness month, and we’re taking a moment to remind everyone that personal safety is as much a state of mind as a physical state of being. Take care of yourselves, everyone! The strongest, healthiest and most responsible thing you can do if you’re struggling is acknowledge it and seek help.
Worth v. Jacobson: 18-20 Year-Olds Eligible for MN Permit to Carry a Pistol
The U.S. Supreme Court let stand a ruling of the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals that the Minnesota permit to carry law applied to adults younger than 21 who otherwise qualify. Training is now available for 18-20 year-olds for the MN Carry Permit and sheriffs will be issuing permits to anyone 18+ who qualifies.
