Welcome to Elite Guardian’s MN Permit to Carry Class. You will learn about the fundamentals of shooting a pistol whether you are a beginner or a novice. We also cover the self defense laws in Minnesota. You’ll get to shoot your pistol on a live fire range at the end of the course with an experienced instructor. Upon completion of the course, you earn a certificate that allows you to apply for a MN permit to carry.
There are two excellent ways for you to get this training done. Option 1 is a four hour class that includes the classroom instruction and qualification on a firing range. Option 2 is a virtual hybrid course for those who need more flexibility due to a busy schedule. With this second option, you sign up for a 2.5 hour virtual class that you can do from anywhere. It’s live, so you will have to be there during the scheduled time slot. Then, to complete the requirements for Minnesota’s permit to carry, you can pick a day and time from a range of options for your 1.5 hour in-person training and range qualification at the Bald Eagle Sportsmen’s Club in Hugo, MN.
Option 1 – SIGN UP for one of our upcoming in-person courses:
Option 2 – SIGN UP for one of our upcoming virtual class (you can schedule your qualification time at a later date)
Our class and live fire range is at Bald Eagle Sportsmen’s Club at 6557 125th St N, Hugo, MN 55038. Dress warm because the range is only partially enclosed. Your time outside will be limited though.
Cancellation Policy: Students are required to cancel at least 48 hours in advance of a class date in order to receive a full refund. Classes cancelled less than 48 hours before the class will not be refunded.

Additional Notes from Your Instructor
Please bring a pistol or revolver that you are comfortable shooting and 50 rounds of the correct ammunition for that firearm. If you do not have a firearm, please let me know and I’ll allow you to rent one for the shooting portion of the class. Also, we encourage you to have your own ear and eye protection, but if you don’t, we will have it available.
