    Hearing was in July. The policy change took place August. All I know is I received a brand new, unrestricted permit that came seven months before expiration. I really don't care how it happened.

    The distinction is important. OAH has a limited sample size but their results have definitely skewed in favor of MSP. And skewed is being nice, they really are a rubber stamp.

    Certificate out of date

    Quick question, and please forgive if this is in the wrong area, but hoping someone in this thread could help...

    I want to apply for my carry permit now, but I completed the training 3 years ago (cert says June 2016 completion). Since certification has to be done within 2 years of application, is there a way to update that certification w/o going through the full 16 hours again? Anyone been in that situation before? Suggestions?

    Thanks for any insight...

    Nope. You're in for it. I'm within my time limit to renew with just the shorter 8 hour class, but I combined that with the 16 hours needed to get my DC permit while I was at it. Just have to pick an instructor that can certify both.

    Mine was "Accepted" or "Submitted for review" (depending on which page you look at on their portal, but the change after they receive my check) over 5 weeks ago and nothing since then. :(

    They didn't call all of my references. I think it depends on the investigator and the conversation with the references.

    What sort of process would one who lives out of state have to do to apply and go through the ringer? I am already covered on my G&S reasoning as long as being a 1099’d sub contractor is acceptable.

    Do I have to take a MD course before applying even if I have a valid license in another state? If so, what exactly do I need to sign up for?

    Visit MSP for finger prints?

    Does anyone have pictures of the actual updated application in blank form to read over?

    AFAIK. You have to go through the entire process, as well as have a damn good reason. Lol.

    Same. Mine said “I talked to all your Ref’s” but only 2 people said they actually got through to him not voicemail

    MD issues permits to non residents but you must have G&S just like residents.
