Permit to purchase, new or renew?

[Halv]

I know this is probably a dumb question, but I had a permit to purchase about 2 years ago, and want to get another to purchase a new revolver. I was wondering if because I had one in the past I check the renew box, or because it expired do I choose new. I'm from MN, not sure if that makes a difference.

Thanks

I don't think it matters.

Subd. 6.Permits valid statewide.

Transferee permits issued pursuant to this section are valid statewide and shall expire after one year. A transferee permit may be renewed in the same manner and subject to the same provisions by which the original permit was obtained, except that all renewed permits must comply with the standards adopted by the commissioner under section 624.7151. Permits issued pursuant to this section are not transferable. A person who transfers a permit in violation of this subdivision is guilty of a misdemeanor.

Since your permit is not valid (expired) you would not be renewing it. I agree with Navy however that it realy doesn't make much difference.
