LEOSA TRAINERS, INC.
ORONO, MN

Verification of a permanent residence in the State of Minnesota must be provided by all applicants with 1) a Minnesota driver’s license, 2) US Passport or 3) other valid government issued identification card. The LTI firearms qualification card is valid only while you maintain your primary residence in the State of Minnesota. Every client is provided with a copy of the book LEOSA Trainers, Inc. provides Minnesota permit to carry training, and LEOSA training and firearms qualification services for retired and separated local, state and federal officers who reside in Minnesota. The Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act (LEOSA) was enacted in 2004 to provide qualified former officers with the means to carry a concealed firearm for their self-defense. Since no “permit” or “license” is actually issued by any state or governmental agency, this authority is most similar to constitutional carry. As we have experienced in other states with constitutional carry, a major risk associated with this authority is school zones. Although Congress intended to allow nationwide carry, a legislative oversight greatly reduces LEOSA’s protections. As the act does not provide a qualified individual any exemptions from Federal Law, LEOSA qualified individuals are subject to the restrictions of Title 18 U.S.C §922(q) known as the Federal Gun Free School Zones Act of 1995. It is therefore a Federal Crime for a LEOSA qualified individual to travel armed on any public sidewalk, road, or highway which passes within one-thousand (1000) feet of the property line of any 1-12 public or private school in the nation. Violation of the Federal GFSZA by an individual is punishable by five (5) years in Federal Prison, a $5,000 fine and the permanent loss of gun-rights. Please share this information with your retired and separated officers. We would welcome the opportunity to explain our services for the ongoing LEOSA training and for our Minnesota permit to carry training. A major difference we possess is that our LEOSA and Minnesota permit to carry training also includes information how you can be properly (and adequately) insured before having a defensive gun use. We believe it is very important for our students not to risk all their personal assets when armed. LTI students are also provided a textbook Minnesota Guide For Armed Citizens as a valuable resource. We are also available to train your friends and family members who need to obtain or renew their Minnesota permit to carry.
