Minnesota reciprocity

Apparently Minnesota now honors the Texas CHL.

I'm not sure how long ago this happened, and I'm not planning on visiting Minnesota any time soon, but it is a nice option to have. Hopefully Texas will do the proper thing and recognize Minnesota's permit in return.

Thanks for the info, I'll update the reciprocity map later tonight.

Good to hear. I've got relatives in Fargo, ND, and they like to go fishing in Minnesota. Good to know I won't have to disarm next time I go up.

Wow, lots of green, and the Utah/Florida permits are getting less beneficial.

NOTE: Charles, I updated the "current" one too, so you should have the updated image in your stickies.

Shouldn't Minnesota be yellow I haven't seen where Texas has signed off on it yet.

Whats the process for TX to accept a MN permit? I'm from Minnesota and have a Minnesota permit, so it'd be nice if it was valid down here.

Governor Perry just has to sign off on it.. Typically he will get to it in a couple of weeks or so.

Good point, I got a little ahead of myself. I fixed it. :)

Good news indeed!

Around two years ago I was up in MN on business, and stayed at a hotel in one of the suburbs just east of St. Paul.

I forget the wording, but the hotel's restaurant had a "No Guns" sign.

At breakfast the next morning (served in a meeting room, not the restaurant) I had an opportunity to speak to the hotel's manager, and told him how, when meeting up with colleagues the previous evening for dinner, we chose to go elsewhere because of this sign, and that I planned to stay elsewhere on my next trip. We had a pretty good discussion about CHLs being law abiding, bad guys ignoring signs, etc.

The sign was gone by that afternoon.

Next day, I thanked the manager for removing it, and told him I'd let my colleagues know and would not personally be blacklisting his hotel.

This was before MN decided to honor TX-CHLs, but I figure I struck my own small blow for RTC.

Ryan:
Thanks again for keeping the reciprocity map for us. It's a great resource.

Any update on this? Is there an online source to check if/when Perry signs off on accepting Minnesota permits?

This is where Texas posts reciprocity information:
