Permissible methods of submitting an application for a permit to carry a handgun expansion

Minnesota's SF 439 bill amends state law to allow handgun permit applicants to submit their applications electronically, in addition to existing options like in-person, mail, or fax. This change directly affects all individuals applying for a Minnesota permit to carry a handgun, streamlining the submission process without altering the required application content or documentation. The bill specifies that applicants must still provide the same materials: a completed form, proof of pistol training, and a government-issued photo ID copy. It also clarifies that sheriffs cannot request additional information beyond these specified requirements.
