Why Pay More?
Taking Your Permit to Carry Course Shouldn’t Break the Bank. How much should a Minnesota Permit to Carry course cost? The truth is, getting a permit to carry a firearm in Minnesota can be very expensive, and for some folks it can be too expensive, so they go unprotected.

Unlike several other states that only require that citizens be “law abiding” in order to carry a firearm, Minnesota requires that potential applicants attend a “Minnesota Permit to Carry a Firearm” course, conducted by an organization certified by the BCA. The cost for that course is left up to the individual training organization. One organization charges as much as $200 or more. At Plane Cents, LLC we believe that it’s your right to obtain a permit to carry a firearm, and that you shouldn’t be “priced out” of that right.

So what exactly do you get for $75 from PCSD? You’ll be taught all of the key things that will help keep you out of trouble in Minnesota, including the three key things that the state requires us to teach, including: Instruction in the fundamentals of pistol use; Instruction in the legal aspects of firearm possession, carry and use, including the rules governing the use of deadly force; and an actual shooting qualification. For a preview of the topics we’ll cover, check out our class primer. In addition to those topics, we’ll also provide you with the appropriate instruction and certificate that you’ll need if you’d like to apply for your Utah permit, you may also apply for Florida and Newhampshire which when combined with your Minnesota permit, will allow you to carry in 31 or more states. We do not make you meet at a motel for your class. We meet at sportsman's clubs, conference rooms and sometimes even my house. Oh I forgot Goose Lake Auto Parts -- you may think, a salvage yard? Well you have to see the lodge we meet in that belongs to the owners to believe it. If you can make one of these classes at Goose Lake, you will not regret it.

So what extra things are you taught by a training organization that charges $125 more than PCSD? Guess what? You get taught EXACTLY THE SAME THINGS. They won’t teach you about a secret 5th rule governing the use of deadly force that only they know about (here’s a hint, there isn’t one), and you won’t be taught about a 5th universal safety rule that they invented that’s worth the extra $125 just to hear about it.

About Our Web Site
One thing you’ll notice about our web site is that we like having a dialogue with our prospective and past students, including filling you in on our thoughts, and what we’ve been up to lately. We might not look as fancy as eBay, but then again, we’re not trying to sell you a Mercedes, or a piece of toast that has the image of Jesus on it. We’re just trying to provide a good product at a price that doesn’t break the bank. We might even occasionally miss the spell checker as we keep our website up to date (for example, we recently listed a class in “Boomington” instead of “Bloomington”, but we thought that one was actually kind of funny). Then again, if a misspelled word here or there really bothers you, we can direct you to an organization who will provide pretty good spelling and grammar for a mere $125 extra. It’s your choice, but we’re betting that the extra $125 would buy a lot of practice ammunition.

About Plane Cents, LLC
So you know by now that I'm a firearms instructor (to that end, I've had more than 200 hours of formal firearms training, and am Minnesota Board of "Peace Officer Standards and Training" (POST) Certified Range Qualifier), but that's just the tip of the iceberg. Like most of my students, my interests are far and wide. If you also share an interest in any of the topics below, I'd love to trade stories about our joint interests.

Obviously, I am not a writer or a web developer. I do the best I can myself and spend as little as I can on such services. It could be argued that I should hire it out, I don't know. I keep my overhead low and pass the savings on to you. A few instructors take shots at me personally and my web site regularly. They judge my classes that they have never attended. My classes are about you and my success proves that. If you want to take a course that will make you feel like your special you’ve come to the right place. Call any of my references listed on my web site. Or call me @ 612-327-3490.

  • Fugitive Recovery Agent www.mnfugitiverecovery.com

  • Lots more, call me. We probably have similar interests.
    *Joel Rosenberg (Twincitycarry™) makes fun of my machine guns on a parady web site he paid for to mock me. That's because he can't have them. See more at the bottom of this site.

We simply ask you to compare what we offer:

  1. A complete 6-8 hour BCA certified course using a combination of training materials including video, power point presentation, and many items you can feel and touch to help you understand equipment and principles

  7. Available for you to call 24/7 at 612-327-3490. Rarely will you get an answering machine.

  9. Multi-state option includes: Utah, MN, Florida and more.

Ammo shortage

Due to the shortage of ammo if you cannot find ammo for the shooting portion of the class, I have several .22LR semi auto pistols for you to use to qualify with. We also have a huge supply of .22LR ammo for sale at the classes! Don't let the ammo shortage stop you from choosing PCSD as your trainer. We still encourage you to use the gun you will carry but offer this as a last resort so you can get your permit. You can also use a .22LR semi auto for the skill builder class after the permit class.

Next step skill builder classes

These classes are for individuals who have a fair amount of hand gun time you do not have to be a super shooter but we will be doing exercises that involve moving while shooting, drawing from the holster and such. You need to be comfortable with hand guns first. We do allow you to use .22LR handguns to save on ammo cost as the skills you will learn are developmental skills that will transition to your carry gun as well. I have several semi auto's in .22LR including 4 Glocks converted to .22LR with Advantage Arms conversions, that you can use. Instructors are graduates of Front Sight™ www.FrontSight.com and are very skilled shooters as well as instructors. call me 612-327-3490

"When I carry a gun, I don't do so because I am looking for a fight, but because I'm looking to be left alone. The gun at my side means that I cannot be forced, only persuaded. I don't carry it because I'm afraid, but because it enables me to be unafraid. It doesn't limit the actions of those who would interact with me through reason, only the actions of those who would do so by force. It removes force from the equation...and that's why carrying a gun is a civilized act."

A word of advice: Talk to your potential instructors before signing up with them. Ask them what kind of training they have to qualify them as an instructor. Many Permit to Carry Instructors have only had a 6-hour training course from certifying organizations that do not require prerequisite training from reputable, high quality training organizations such as the NRA. Ask yourself, would you spend your hard earned money to get training in golf from someone who is not a pro? If not, why would you get gun training from someone who is inexperienced and has limited training in the discipline? I understand ratings and licenses how to get them and how to teach them so you will remember. Few instructors have as many hard to get qualifications as I have to teach.

I provide a high quality course filled with content you won't find anywhere else and present the material in a dynamic and understandable manner. You will not be disappointed and you will not fall sleep in my class. Just look at what a recent student said about my course:

"Thanks for setting up the class for us at 3M. My brother and I enjoyed the class at Gander Mountain and feel we got the best conceal carry class in Minnesota. Thanks again from the 3M guys, I'll recommend you to everybody."

Join a class this week!

Call if you have a group and I will come to your home and do a private class (5 or more).

Free lunch or dinner served at class. We offer products such as holsters and laser trainers not available elsewhere in the Twin Cities.

 I was trained by Joe Olson, the attorney who wrote the law.  Our class has a heavy emphasis on the legal aspects associated with carrying a hand gun in Minnesota.  No other course gives the same in-depth view into the law.  Joe Olson is a Hamline University Law Professor and co-founder of AACFI.  Do not settle for less.   Have Plane Cents Self-Defense train you. Click here to learn more about the courses we offer.  

Plane Cents Self Defense is proud to have been one of the first 3 organizations certified under the 2005 BCA rules in Minnesota. We are also certified through the NRA and MADFI. Plane Cents Self Defense is pleased announce that we are associated with and was certified by MADFI in 2005. We do not, however, do MADFI certified or sanctioned courses.

Plane Cents no longer offers AACFI permit to carry courses, however, Joe Penaz was AACFI trained. We have written our own BCA-approved course which goes beyond. Our course combines the knowledge gained from NRA, AACFI, MADFI, and other training in firearms instruction and incorporates the valuable insight gained through training hundreds of students, to create a comprehensive permit to carry course.

We have talked to many Sheriffs and law enforcement professionals. We know what their concerns are about citizens with weapons. Some Sheriff's departments have actually had a deputy attend my class unannounced and in plain dress to find out what I am teaching. We have been written up in the Chaska Herald by the sports editor who attended our class.

I also have the added advantage of having several law enforcement professionals within my close circle of family and friends. I have been lucky to hear their stories about what really goes on out there, many of which I will pass on to you.

Most importantly of all, I carry every day. This is important! Many instructors out there do not; many others have carried only since the bill passed. I have been involved with competitive shooting as well as hunting with a handgun for 30 years. The person you choose to train you does make a difference. After all, the last thing you want to do is find yourself in a situation where you defended yourself properly and then end up in jail.

I offer classes almost every weekend and also on Tuesday evenings. Why? I care about your time. I know how tough juggling schedules can be, so I give you more options than any other instructor out there. Check my references!!
