Moving from Minnesota and have a Minnesota resident permit? Does that permit transfer to your new state? Is there a grace period during which your Minnesota permit remains valid?
If a person with a Minnesota permit to concealed carry establishes residency in another state, the permit is valid until it expires provided he or she submits the above referenced name/address change form.

That’s because it’s a link to a very expensive service of online law books that require a subscription. It’s just a joke because I thought it was a bit over the top to post that Looooooong legal document rather that a link.
