Training
Joel was a highly-regarded trainer, providing Minnesota Permit to Carry classes and Beginner-To-Carry classes since 2003. His book, Everything You Need to Know About (Legally) Carrying a Handgun in Minnesota is still the definitive text for carry in Minnesota.Andrew Rothman, owner of this site, was a good friend and long-time student of Joel's, and was fortunate to have Joel's input while creating both the Minnesota Association of Defensive Firearm Instructors' instructor certification course and the Minnesota Gun Training carry course.
