License Description Minnesota Department of Public Safety (DPS) - Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) PERMIT TO PURCHASE / TRANSFER Under Minnesota law, handgun transfers involve any sale, gift, loan, assignment or other delivery to another person. If you possess a valid Minnesota permit to carry a handgun, that permit constitutes a permit to purchase. You don't need to apply for a separate permit to purchase.

Once those checks are complete, a one-year permit to purchase a handgun in Minnesota will be issued. If you are applying for a permit to transfer, the law enforcement agency must notify you of its status within seven days of receipt.
