Can WI residents take your class and then get a MN permit? Will the MN sheriff accept a WI resident for CC permit?
Short answer: yup. Happens all the time.
Longer answer: WI residents (and other non-MN resident US citizens and legal permanent US residents) can apply at any MN sheriff they choose to.
(Washington County charges less than any other metro county, and is famous for their good, efficient service under Sheriff Hutton; that's where I recommend that WI residents apply. My second choice is, "anywhere else that isn't Ramsey.)
