Minnesota Personal Protection Act modification

SF 438 modifies Minnesota's Personal Protection Act to create lifetime permits for carrying handguns, replacing current temporary permits. It reduces the application fee to a maximum of $100 (or actual processing cost, whichever is lower), with $10 going to the general fund. The bill requires applicants to provide proof of recent pistol safety training (via a certified instructor's certificate) and standardizes application forms to include only essential personal and documentation details. These changes directly affect all Minnesota residents applying for or renewing handgun carry permits and sheriffs processing these applications.
