How do I get a Permit to Purchase handgun?

To obtain a permit to purchase you must apply in person at the Sheriff's Office, Monday through Friday between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. You must be 21 years of age, a resident of Chippewa County and have a Minnesota drivers license confirming your Chippewa County address. We have up to seven working days to process your Permit to Purchase application from the time we receive it. The criminal history of each applicant is checked. A record of conviction for certain crimes will be cause for denial of a permit.
