And it's free.<br /><br />When you buy a handgun or assault weapon from a licensed dealer, in Minnesota, you either need to show a purchase permit, a carry permit, or file a report of transfer with your local police department, and wait five days for the background check to complete, prior to taking possession. In addition to the NICS check.<br /><br />You are not required to show a permit when performing a private sale, but if you do not and the buyer commits an act of violence within one year, you are guilty of a gross misdemeanor.<br /><br />Because of this, and because we're generally law-abiding sorts who don't want to sell to criminals, everyone I know who occasionally engages in private transfers insists upon seeing a carry permit.<br /><br />Having the permitting system in place doesn't bother me, since it is non-discretionary and it is useful in arguing against universal background checks.<br />jdegehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01495457567906071678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807403883562053852.post-6142409171862881452016-04-04T20:33:25.558-06:002016-04-04T20:33:25.558-06:00In my opinion, the law really acts like a tax on p...In my opinion, the law really acts like a tax on people without concealed carry licenses. If you have a concealed carry license, you don't need the pistol permit (or permit to purchase).Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02423924859310327055noreply@blogger.com
