IN-DEPTH: Minnesota's permit to carry law and how it applies to Philando Castile
There are 217,000 Minnesotans who have a permit to carry a firearm. Officially, it is called the Minnesota Personal Protection act, which was enacted in 2003. At its basic level, the law allows people to carry a pistol in public if they have a permit. That's why this law is called "permit to carry."
Minnesota's permit to carry law and how it applies to Philando Castile
Oftentimes, people will incorrectly call it the "conceal-carry law," and use the term interchangeably – but it is not. Minnesota's permit to carry law does not require citizens to conceal their pistol, although most people do.
To get a permit to carry a firearm, you have to be at least 21 years old and you have to have completed a firearms training course. The permit holder must carry that permit and a driver's license with him or her at all times when they're carrying that firearm -- and according to statute, "must display the permit and identification document upon the lawful demand of a peace officer."
The section of the statute that could apply to Castile's traffic stop states: "Upon request of a peace officer, a permit holder shall disclose to the officer whether or not the permit holder is currently carrying a firearm." There is nothing in the law that requires a person to voluntarily disclose to a peace officer that he has a permit or a firearm on him.

I stand corrected on the conceal carry permit. But there are other inconsistencies that don't add up.
Do you know which Minnesota law requires notifying the sheriff of any county you move to that you have a Minnesota carry permit? Also, did Castile move out of county after receiving that permit?
