Continuing Gun Training and School

We wrote the book on ccw course value!

We do not do this for the money, That's the difference with Plane Cents! You will see that when you take our course we just want as many people as possible to use their right to bear arms. How we help is less cost to train. Call the gun shops at the bottom of the page for referrals. Our course takes about 6 hours including the shooting portion depending on the questions and skill levels of the students.

We offer more value than any other

"When I carry a gun, I don't do so because I am looking for a fight, but because I'm looking to be left alone. The gun at my side means that I cannot be forced, only persuaded. I don't carry it because I'm afraid, but because it enables me to be unafraid. It doesn't limit the actions of those who would interact with me through reason, only the actions of those who would do so by force. It removes force from the equation...and that's why carrying a gun is a civilized act."

   -- why the gun is civilization by Marko Kloos

Why Choose Us?

No one has both Utah and Minnesota for less than $75. I do this as a passion to promote the Second Amendment, not to make the most money I can! I have had students tell me that when talking to other instructors about why they should take their course instead of mine, price almost always comes up (because I am cheaper). A frequent comment from other instructors is, "You get what you pay for." They are right, you can pay more, but is what you get worth the extra money? You can buy the same exact lotion at Walmart for less.I know what they are implying is that you get less from me.

What you get from me is a high-quality course presented by a well qualified, experienced, instructor; a free meal; the Utah course bundled with Minnesota for no additional cost; a chance to see a machine gun demo; and sometimes even the chance to shoot a machine gun. If other instructors out there really do give you more, is it really worth the extra cost?

I present the course on the the Utah permit first in my class as Utah requires and in its entirety. You will be able to carry in many states after the Utah course, we the cover the remaining topics so you can apply for your Minnesota permit also. Together they give you 28+ states to carry in with just two permit applications. All for just $75. If you wish, you may choose to only apply for Minnesota or Utah.

Need to renew your permit? If it expires in the next 12 months, get the training out of the way. If you join any of my existing classes, $55 is all you pay. Utah is free!

A word of advice: Talk to your potential instructors before signing up with them. Ask them what kind of training they have to qualify them as an instructor. Many Permit to Carry Instructors have only had a 6-hour training course from certifying organizations that do not require prerequisite training from reputable, high quality training organizations such as the NRA. Ask yourself, would you spend your hard earned money to get training in golf from someone who is not a pro? If not, why would you get gun training from someone who is inexperienced and has limited training in the discipline? I understand ratings and licenses how to get them and how to teach them so you will remember. Few instructors have as many hard to get qualifications as I have.

I provide a high quality course filled with content you won't find anywhere else and I present the material in a dynamic and understandable manner. You will not be disappointed you will not fall sleep in my class. Just look at what a recent student said about my course:

"Thanks for setting up the class for us at 3m. My brother and I enjoyed the class at Gander mountain and feel we got the best conceal carry class in Minnesota. Thanks again from the 3M guys, I'll recommend you to everybody."

WHY should you take our MN Permit to Carry course vs. others being offered?  I was trained by Joe Olson, the attorney who wrote the law.  Our Twin Cities carry permit class has a heavy emphasis on the legal aspects associated with carrying a hand gun in Minnesota.  No other course gives the same in-depth view into the law.  Joe Olson is a Hamline University Law Professor and co-founder of AACFI.  Do not settle for less.   Have Plane Cents Self-Defense train you.   Click here to learn more about the courses we offer.  

Ask your potential instructor what they have done to qualify them as a carry permit to carry (MN) instructor, then read on. Many instructors out there had little or no experience training people to handle or shoot a firearm. We have been training firearm disciplines since 1985. Who trains you does matter!

Plane Cents Self Defense is proud to have been one of the first 5 organizations certified under the 2005 BCA rules in Minnesota. We are also certified through the NRA and MADFI.

Plane Cents no longer offers AACFI permit to carry courses, however, Joe Penaz was AACFI trained. We have written our own course in 2004 and were the first to present our own sheriff approved course for Twin City Carry even before the 2005 restructuring of requirements by the BCA. We are BCA-approved and cover things not covered by other courses. Our course combines the knowledge gained from NRA, AACFI, MADFI, and other training in firearms instruction it incorporates the valuable insight gained through training several thousand students, to create a comprehensive permit to carry course.

We have talked to many Sheriffs and law enforcement professionals. We know what their concerns are about citizens with weapons. Some Sheriff's departments have actually had a deputy attend my class unannounced and in plain dress to find out what I am teaching. We have been written up in the Chaska Herald by the sports editor who attended our class.

I also have the added advantage of having several law enforcement professionals within my close circle of family and friends. I have been lucky to hear their stories about what really goes on out there, many of which I will pass on to you.

Most importantly of all, I carry every day. This is important! Many instructors out there do not; many others have carried only since the bill passed. I have been involved with competitive shooting as well as hunting with a handgun for 30 years. The person you choose to train you does make a difference. After all, the last thing you want to do is find yourself in a situation where you defended yourself properly and then end up in jail.

If you want to get your training from an instructor who will not play games with you, just teach you what you need to fulfill the Minnesota requirements to apply for the permit, I am the guy. I will not make you jump through hoops at the range beyond what the state requires (many instructors add timed shooting and other challenges not required by the state). I do the class portion at my house in a comfortable relaxed environment, and I will give you an evening you will not forget. You will not fall asleep at my class!

I offer classes almost every weekend and also on Tuesday evenings. Why? I understand about your time. I know how tough juggling schedules can be, so I give you more options than any other instructor out there. Check my references!!

Girls you will have a great time at our classes with Marcia as a certified instructor also. Joe has been training women in bowling skills for years. He is a ABC certified bowling instructorand has also coached high school bowing. Joe was also one of the first Refuse to be a Victum instructors who was not a female. This is an NRA course designed primarily for women. Joe was persistent and was allowed to teach what was normally a female instructor only position. Joe also teaches guitar, bass guitar, piano and voice among others, mostly to children.

You will not fall asleep in our class that is for sure!!!!

We offer products such as holsters and laser trainers not available elsewhere in the Twin Cities.
