CMP Eligibility Requirements & MN Carry Permit

[Mike_Ert]

Does anyone know if being a MN carry permit holder satisfies the CMP's ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS for MARKSMANSHIP OR OTHER FIREARMS RELATED ACTIVITY?

Yes, I'm pretty sure it does. IIRC, that's what I used.

That is, by far, the best news i have heard so far this week. Thanks for the info.

I know I don't speak for everyone, but as a 13 year member of a CMP affiliated club wish they would go back to what it was 30 years ago.

I'm pretty sure that you have to a member of a club that is affiliated with the CMP.

You can join the Garand Collectors Association online as your "CMP affiliated club" - and your MNPTC counts as evidence of marksmanship activity.

I'd love to have the time to shoot the CMP matches locally to qualify the old school way - just unfortunate that when they're held it been on bad weekend for me.

If you can't find a CMP sponsored event in this state you're not looking very hard.

You need to be a member of a CMP-affiliated club AND show proof of some sort of marksmanship or "other firearms related activity". They are 2 separate requirements. For some reason a carry permit does satisfy the marksmanship requirement. Seriously though like Uncle Rip said above, if you can't get yourself to a single CMP event in this area over a period of years, you aren't trying hard enough. 90% of the people that buy these rifles never learn the first thing about shooting them.
