In 2003 Minnesota passed the MN Personal Protection Act, which required instructors to register a business with the state of MN and be certified through the Department of Public Safety in order for the general public to obtain conceal-carry permits. This new legislation is what triggered the formation of Tactical Advantage Firearms Training, Inc. in 2003. Hundreds of students have taken the MN Permit-to-Carry Class offered by Tactical Advantage at various venues in the last twenty-plus years including lectures at Sauk Rapids and Avon City Halls, the former A&J Gun Shop in Clearwater as well as private residences. Tactical Advantage Instructors have also offered firearms fundamentals classes through Sartell/St. Stephen Community Education and the former Door1 at SCTCC. The biggest hurdle faced by the company has been finding a place to conduct the live-fire portion of the classes that have occurred at private ranges and the Avon Sportsmen’s Club. Although grateful for the support of the local club, after ten years of operating a mobile training business, it was time for Tactical Advantage to have a permanent home.
