Minneapolis not issuing purchase permits

[Pat]

Do you plan to get a MN permit to carry? Then you won't need a permit to purchase...

[ttousi]

answer here pat

Eh, it is what it is. It'll be interesting to see if my carry permit arrives before the permit to purchase does though... (I submitted the carry permit paperwork last Monday.)

Again, another thread that I haven't even posted in, that I get dragged into. You people leave me out of you sick little games.

It's irrelevent, if the city doesn't come up with a reason to deny you than the permit must be issued within seven days. There is also a process to do a waiting period with the dealer but most dealers won't do that anymore. The dealer fills out what amounts to a permit to purchase application and submits it to LE, if they don't hear back from the LEA within five days they process the transaction just as any other.

Yeah, I know that. But I can't go to the FFL that has my firearm in his safe and say, "I applied 22 days ago. They haven't denied me and it is past seven days, therefore it has been approved. I'll take my firearm now please." I have the satisfaction of knowing that your / my / our interpretation of the law is the correct one, and I'm getting screwed, but what am I supposed to do about it? The women I talked to both struck me as honestly doing their best to fulfill requirements that can't possibly be fulfilled for someone in my situation (10 addresses in 7 counties in 5 states in the last 10 years). The fault lies with the system itself and how it is being implemented. At this point, I'm just going to sit back and count the days, because it is interesting to watch government inaction, er, I mean in action...

The city is breaking the law. Even if they hear back from none of the places you lived, they need to hand you that piece of cardboard after 7 calendar days. Someone needs a little wake-up call.

I have to agree with Andrew on this one. I had a purchase permit before getting my carry permit. IIRC, it took them about 2 weeks or more to issue the permit. They used the same excuse, that one city where I had lived had not reported back to them. Not sure if it helped or not, but I reminded the person that I dealt with that, regardless, they were in violation of the law. Permit was issued soon after. This was a smaller town. St. Paul probably isn't so easily dealt with. This sounds like a situation where you will get as much justice as you care to buy.

Lets get on this.

I do agree - completely. Its just that:
1. I'm in no position to 'buy any justice'.
2. I have already applied for my carry permit, and there is absolutely no reason for it to be denied. I don't want to become as a 'rabble rouser' and give anyone a reason, however ridiculous & contrived, to deny me that permit.
3. Since you guys have done such a good job on getting the carry permits issued in a timely manner and I believe it is extremely unlikely mine will be either denied or delayed, I don't want to risk pissing anyone off that might have both the desire & power to arbitrarily mess with my carry application, just so I can end up picking up the firearm that is waiting for me all of a couple of weeks sooner than if I just wait for that carry permit.
4. Finally, I have no idea to whom I would complain anyway. As I said, both of the women I spoke with at the 'permit desk' were professional and helpful, but their hands are tied by the rules they have been given to follow. Whoever is making those rules needs to be made aware of the law, and that leads me back to numbers 1-3 above...

If anyone has any suggestions regarding who I can call or what I can do that won't cost me anything, and carries no risk of getting my carry permit either delayed or denied, I'm all ears. Thanks!

Just curious - what exactly are you referring to as ":cough:bullcrap:cough:"? It has currently been 23 days since I applied for a permit that is by law to be issued or denied within 7 days, and that is most emphatically not bullcrap, no matter how much coughing you do. I assume you must be referring to something else...
