That's impressive. When I renewed mine in 2021, it took them just under 4 weeks.

If I remember correctly in 2020 the wait time just to get an appointment to TURN IN your paperwork was ghastly. Again, IIRC, it was the Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus that stepped in and called them out on the excessive wait time and almost unbelievably they opened up another station to take the paperwork in the Twin Cities and wait time went down a lot.
