You're cutting it mighty close to get it done by Thursday. Best bet would be to hand deliver the notification (the original and one copy) today or tomorrow. Have them stamp and annotate the copy received, and keep the copy with you.

Just email the notification. You get a scanned copy emailed back marked "received" with the date and time. Paper is so 20th century.

You email this dude: michael.hutchings@state.mn.us

this:

Dear Mr. Hutchings,

I provide this email as my intent to carry a concealed weapon in state buildings within the capitol area, pursuant to Minn. Stat. 609.66 Subd. 1g. I have my Minnesota Permit to Carry (Reference # XXXXXXXX, Expires XX/XX/XXXX) issued by Sheriff XXXXXXXXXXX of XXXXXXXXXXX County. I intend to carry for advocacy against stricter gun control regulations and for personal protection during my time at the capitol complex.

Could you please confirm that my notification has been received and accepted?

Kind Regards,

MN01R6
Address



And he responds with this a few hours later:

MN01R6,

I have received your notification, and I have forwarded it to Capitol Security. Please find attached a copy of your notification with our stamp of receipt.

Thanks,
Mike Hutchings

ETA: Mike Hitchings gave me his email when I called the commissioner of DPS's office, so I don't think he would mind me posting it here for others to use.

Curious,

How long is the notification valid? Would you need one for everyday you are there?
