Issued - Emergency/Expired 39
Denied 269
Suspended 6
Revoked 4
Void 7

It's of interest to me how few are Suspended or Revoked Although I'm not sure what the difference is or what the Void catagory is either.
I carry to protect myself and my loved ones from the BG's. Not to solve societies problems. That said: if more carried the deterrent would only have a positive overall effect on those problems.

Is that 20,830 or 2,083? Being a native of the Frozen North, I'm a bit curious!

Minnesota has approximately 56,000 concealed carry permits. Last year TEN were suspended or revoked. Do you know how amazing that is? Concealed carry permit holders are INCREDIBLY law abiding.

Don't know for sure, but I would guess Voided would be from people who moved out of state or have passed away.It's of interest to me how few are Suspended or Revoked Although I'm not sure what the difference is or what the Void catagory is either.

To clarify, Minnesota does not have concealed carry permits, as such.
A Minnesota permit is a permit to carry a pistol. It does not restrict
carry to concealed or open, both are legal.

I wonder what the difference is between "suspended" and "revoked"?Last year TEN were suspended or revoked.
Regardless, only 10 permits suspended/revoked is amazing. Its yet more proof of the overwhelmingly law-abiding nature of carry licensees.

Though, I would expect people from other states to make that mistake, as most of them have CHP's. But, everyone in MN should understand the law well enough to know this.
I still see some MN instructors who advertise "concealed carry permits" ... makes me wonder how they can be an instructor if they aren't aware that the word "conceal" is never mentioned in the law, and in fact the word hurts us because it suggests that our permit is something less than what it really is.

Very cool! As I live in this all too democratic state, it's nice to know that we have such a high number who carry. Thanks!
...we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government : of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
-Abraham Lincoln
