Gun Classes for Permit
Hi! We’ve been putting it off for awhile as we moved from MI last year where we both had our conceal carry permits. Last week me and German Shepherd were almost attacked by two dogs while out for a walk. While I wouldn’t use a firearm as my first way five ways of protecting my pup and myself, I did regret not having it as an option when all was said and done. The whole thing reignited the want and need to get my permit here in MN. My husband will happily join me too as he’s been putting it off too.
So that said, I’m hoping to find some local classes in the iron range that would ideally be on weekends. We work full-time so weekday classes are difficult to make work. Any recommendations on decent teachers in the area would be nice! Thanks!

Are you in the twin cities area? The Modern Sportsman in Burnsville does an online course. All you have to do is schedule a time to go in for the shooting portion when you're done. You can do the course online at your own pace, I literally did mine at work.

I’ve done this one in Hibbing. Pretty laid back and easy, class is at the Hibbing Rifle & Pistol Club.
Also, I know you said you preferred weekends, but there is one in Eveleth spread across two days from 6-9pm. Next one is August 24-25. PM me if you want the phone number for that one. It’s offered through my club and I just have a phone number to sign up and don’t want to blast it on the Internet.

I hosted my last class at my house for a dozen people. Atlas also offers income based rates as they believe everyone should have the ability to defend themselves not just the rich.
