Whenever I read something like this I once again thank Ghu for David Gross and Joe Olson who (mainly) wrote our 'shall-issue' law in MN. By law here in the People's Republic of Ten Thousand Lakes if the issuing authority (usually the sheriff) does not deny your application within 30 days, then you are automatically presumed to be approved, and your dated receipt becomes your permit to carry.
