By law the new/current SOP for processing Handgun Permits should have been made public on the Internet by October 1, 2016 along with all other agency SOPs. MSP released their SOPs via Dropbox, but noticeably absent was any SOP for permit processing. I suppose that means the old SOP was revoked and there is no SOP so they just make it up as they go? The only other option is that they have refused or failed to comply with the law - nothing new if the latter is true. The next applicant appealing to the Board that requests a copy of their file should request a copy of any SOP utilized during their permit review process and see what they get. When I did that (prior to the new posting requirement) I was told it was available online - which was nonresponsive to my PIA request - again no surprise coming from MSP.
