Mine didn’t even call any of my references. Maybe they wanted to expedite the process and make sure my ammo was well protected?
You will be observed through the mirrored windows of the lobby prior to the interview, with notes being taken on your appearance/clothing, mannerisms, nervousness, etc.
You'll be asked to sign an honor/truthfulness policy at the start of the interview
The questions I thought were a bit too invasive:
What do you intend to carry.
Crimes as a juvenile, even those not known to law enforcement.
Driving record.
Drinking habits, frequency of drinking event, quantity during event.
All prescription drugs you're currently using.
Mental health care received for PTSD, depression, alcoholism, drug abuse, or other mental disorders.
If you're on psychiatric medications (per a list they have) or have a history of "mental disorder" you'll need a signed memo from a doctor per a memo you'll be given by the investigator.
She told you you couldn’t pocket carry a .38 Revolver?
Mine asked what kind of firearm I planned to carry. I said I had not made a decision on that, and asked what she would recommend. She said it was MSP policy not to respond to that question. ...And she moved on to other questions.
So, did you get it?
The portal changed to "approved" within 24hrs of my doctor's note being uploaded. It took a while to get an appointment so the investigator, supervisor, and licensing division had all completed their efforts by the time I added it to the portal.
At least one weight loss drug is on the list of memo-required medications, because it is a combination of two drugs that are used to treat depression and alcohol/narcotics dependence, even though it is not FDA approved for treatment of either disorder.
When asked what I planned on carrying, my response was(in jest)..."...you know what I own... you pick."
I did not need a business license!! I'll say that again, I did not need a business license. .
There’s a lot of confusion about licenses. Licenses are required in certain businesses: retail, contractors, medical practices, car dealers, real estate, etc. But not every business has licensing rules or requirements. Many industries don’t, so there’s no license to have or show. However, with Articles of Inc (or of Organization), tax statements, CC and bank statements, payroll receipts, etc., you can show it’s a real business without needing a license.

Been in business 50 years , we have no license but have Fed. ID # and retail sales tax numbers . Many years ago in our type of business you did not need one , and it was a different time . Not sure if i need one now or not and i really don't care to have one .
All of it is BS as well as the permit scheme as far as i am concerned .
My interview was very smooth. My interviewer as very personable and we went over the application and I more or less was asked to repeat the info I put on the application, which I understand they're looking to see if you fudge some details or suddenly lock up or change demeanor on some portions. It may seem dumb, but they don't make the rules and they have their game to play. Being combative and standoffish with the interviewer won't change the process and can only sabotage whatever chances you may yourself have. Ernst Junger has some really good books about the subject of living in an oppressive state, namely The Forest Passage which is a pretext to one of my favorite books, Eumeswil.
Everything went well for me, and I just had to follow up with my references to make sure they contacted my interviewer. My permit showed up in the mail about two weeks later.
