Minnesota Expands Concealed Carry Reciprocity to 33 States Following Court Ruling

PAUL, MN — The Minnesota Department of Public Safety has significantly expanded the state’s concealed carry permit reciprocity, now recognizing permits from 33 states. This development follows the conclusion of the legal case Worth v. Jacobson, which challenged Minnesota’s age restriction on carry permits. Previously, Minnesota’s permit-to-carry law required applicants to be at least 21 years old. However, in 2024, the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled this age restriction unconstitutional, stating that it violated the Second Amendment rights of 18- to 20-year-olds. The U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear the state’s appeal in April 2025, effectively upholding the lower court’s decision. In response to this ruling, Minnesota updated its reciprocity agreements to include states that issue permits to individuals aged 18 and older, aligning with the new legal standard. The updated list of states whose permits are now recognized in Minnesota includes: Alaska Arkansas California Colorado (permits issued or renewed on or after 8/1/24) Connecticut Delaware Hawaii Idaho (Enhanced permit only) Illinois…

Robbery Suspect and Armed Victim Both Shot After Struggle Over Gun in Missouri Market
Listed To This Article: Play in new window | Download | EmbedYou can also subscribe via Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Amazon Music | Android | | More JENNINGS, MO — A robbery attempt at a local market turned into a shootout Thursday evening, leaving both the suspect and intended victim injured and hospitalized. According to First Alert 4, the incident occurred around 5:30 p.m. at a market on the 5200 block of Hamilton Avenue. The victim was standing at the counter when 23-year-old Tayvion Baker allegedly approached him armed with a pistol. Police say Baker spotted a handgun in a holster on the victim’s hip, which was reportedly concealed under his shirt. It is unclear how Baker noticed the firearm, but he then attempted to take it. Baker reportedly grabbed the firearm and threatened the victim, saying, “give it to me, I’m finnin to pop you.” A violent struggle ensued, during which Baker shot the victim twice. The victim returned fire, striking Baker. After being shot, Baker fled the store, but the victim pursued him outside and continued shooting as the suspect attempted to escape. Both men were later transported to a local hospital for treatment. Their current conditions have not been released. Police later discovered that Baker’s firearm had been modified with an illegal switch, converting it to full auto. Baker now faces multiple charges including two counts of armed criminal action, attempted robbery, assault, and unlawful possession and modification of a firearm. This case highlights two critical considerations for concealed carriers. First, proper concealment is essential. If a firearm is visible or easily identified under clothing, it may draw the attention of criminals and escalate a situation, as appeared to happen here. Second, the use of deadly force must stop once the immediate threat has ended. Pursuing and continuing to shoot at a fleeing suspect can have serious legal consequences. Always prioritize de-escalation and adhere strictly to self-defense laws. Read the full article here
