GUN PERMITS <br /> Minnesota law requires a resident to have a Permit to Purchase or Transfer in order to <br /> obtain a handgun through a purchase, sale, gift, loan, assignment or other delivery from <br /> another person. If a resident has a valid permit to carry a handgun, that permit <br /> constitutes a permit to purchase. <br /> The City of Pequot Lakes, City of Jenkins and Jenkins Township residents who do not <br /> have a permit to carry must go to the Pequot Lakes Police Department to apply for a <br /> Permit to Purchase/Transfer. State law requires law enforcement agencies to conduct a <br /> series of background-related checks to assure the eligibility requirements established in <br /> state law are met. <br /> The Pequot Lakes Police Department must respond to the applicant within seven days <br /> with a permit or a denial letter. <br /> K <br /> Minnesota law requires all handgun transfers be reported to local law enforcement <br /> agencies. If selling a handgun and the buyer has not obtained a permit to purchase, the <br /> seller must notify the local law enforcement agency of the potential transaction. Once <br /> the law enforcement agency receives the transfer/purchase agreement, the agency has <br /> five days to determine the potential buyer's eligibility to possess a handgun. <br /> During 2014, Pequot Lakes Police department issued 38 gun permits to purchase to <br /> residents in the City of Pequot Lakes and the City of Jenkins. <br /> Gun permits to carry must be obtain through the Crow Wing County Sheriffs <br /> Department. <br /> 6 <br />
