Today, April 28th, the Minneapolis Senate voted 36-31 (37-30 on the final vote) to concur with the House version of S.F. 842.

For those of you who aren't Minnesotans, shall-issue passed the House but was stuck in committee (courtesy of the DFL) in the Senate. The House attached the shall-issue bill to S.F. 842 (a minor bill relating to the Department of Natural Resources already passed by the Senate) forcing the bill to be brought to a vote on the Senate floor. As stated above the full Senate voted to concur with the House's version, in effect passing shall-issue through the Senate. A vote to reconsider failed 28-39.

Now the bill goes to Governor Pawlenty's desk. He was one of the leaders in getting shall-issue passed through the House last year when he was still Rep. Pawlenty and has stated repeatedly that he will sign the bill.

All I have to say is about time and WHOO WHOO!!
 
Details...

Subd. 16. [RECOGNITION OF PERMITS FROM OTHER STATES.] The commissioner of public safety must annually establish and publish a list of other states that have laws governing the issuance of permits to carry weapons that are not substantially similar to this section. The list must be available on the Internet. A person holding a carry permit from a state not on the list may use the license or permit in this state subject to the rights, privileges, and requirements of this section.

This is an excerpt from the bill regarding your first question. Essentially, if you aren't on the no reciprocity list you can carry in Minnesota with the permit from your home state. Someone pointed out that this effectively puts the "burden of proof" on Minnesota's part (permits are assumed recognized until the state finds reason to decide otherwise, instead of vice-versa) and avoids the need to negotiate seperate reciprocity agreements with every state. Since the bill has not been signed yet the Commissioner of Public Safety has not established that list.

Which brings me to the second question. The bill goes into effect 30 days after it is signed by Gov. Pawlenty. This will most likely be tomorrow or sometime later this week. Figure the end of May. Sometime after that the no reciprocity list should be available.

For any further obvious questions I have overlooked you can got to the full bill text
here .
 
Expect to see the Gov. sign this within 2 weeks. Then, law enforcement has 30 days to go live with this. There will be up to a 30 day wait till you receive the permit after having applied for it.

Im not sure yet on the reciprocity question. Though I know there is some provision for it in the language.

Its a really great day in Minnesota!

Well done, Minnesota!

Minnesota sure has come a long way since I lived there! It's a beautiful state with great people and some of the worst weather imaginable. I'm glad to see it's joined the ranks of states that take the Second Amendment seriously.
 
I watch the debate on the Senate floor, and I would say it officially passed at 18:30.

Now I've got to get rolling on some classes, not to take, but to give. I am a certified NRA instructor and the way the bill reads, there is no classes offered with in 80 miles of me that would qualify under this bill.

:D
 
Well, well, well, the People's Republic of Minnesota has joined civilized society and their "Helpless Victim" policies will be ending...DESPITE the efforts of the Deviate, Flake, and Leftist party HQ'd in Minneapolis. A fine day for you folks in the Land of 10,000 lakes, and a far cry from when I lived there.

I won't feel so sorry for you folks once I visit from Texas . . . as long as you recognize MY CHL! :cool:
 
Good for you cobb, and congratulations to all gun owning Minnesotans!

Sure hope they will recognize my CCW.
 
I suddenly feel the need to look into compact pistols, and to save money for some quality leather products. BDA's, J-frames, Kahrs, and baby Glocks are starting to look a lot more useful all of a sudden. :)
 
"I suddenly feel the need to look into compact pistols..."

Ya, no kidding. Im hearing p-3AT.....p-3AT......p-3AT...... in my ears over and over again....

A newspaper article...

This link is to an article in the Star Tribune regarding the signing:
Star Tribune article

Go Minnesota!

Are we number 36? That would be fun. Thirty-six is a perfect square. Whoo whoo. *sigh* Yes. I am a math major (and computer science). It's true. But it's a cool number, you have to admit that.
 
Well knock me over with a feather...

This state is almost as liberal as it gets, so if this can be accomplished here it definitely bodes well for other venues.

So, Cobb, when are you starting up those classes?
 
Oh, man am I excited. Been hoping for this for some time.

Cobb, you should look into the course materials soon to be available from AACFI for Minnesota -- I've been through the beta-test training course, have been reviewing the Everything you need to know to (Legally) Carry a Handgun in Minnesota book, and am working on their web site. Hope to be able to post the URL very shortly, when it's ready for public consumption.

I certainly think that there's going to be a lot of money made in training in the next year or so. The state estimates 90,000 permits within 3 years. *I* estimate rather more, based on the numbers in other states.
I do hope to catch a bit of that money myself.
