Frequently asked questions

Can I complete the whole permit course online?
You can complete the classroom portion online. Minnesota still requires a live-fire qualification, so TTS pairs the online course with an in-person review and range qualification.
How long does the online course take?
It varies by student, but you should expect about 2-3 hours. You can start and stop the course, so if you are interrupted, you can come back to it.
Where is the range qualification?
Range qualifications are held at The Modern Sportsman in Burnsville.
What do I have to do to pass the shooting qualification?
The main focus of the shooting qualification is showing that you can safely handle a pistol. There is an accuracy element, but if you handle your pistol safely, our instructors can teach even a novice shooter.
