Q: Do y'all release the the firearm after 3 day NICS delay ?
A: We follow the Brady Law. Meaning of we do not get a response in 3 consecutive business days, we can transfer the firearm. The day the NICS check is initiated does not count as a day and weekends and holidays do not count towards those dates. NICS will tell us the date at which it can legally be transferred without a response.

Q: Do you need a permit to purchase a Kel-Tec sub 2000? I believe its considered a carbine rifle, so you wouldnt need one... correct me if im wrong.
A: Minnesota requires a permit for long guns if the firearm has 3 or more of the following.... 1- High Capacity Magazines (More than 10 rounds) 2- Folding or telescoping stock. 3- Pistol Grip 4- Muzzle device (Flash Hider, Threaded, Etc.) 5- Bayonet Lug This is why most Modern Sporting Rifles or AR Style rifles require a Permit to Purchase or Permit to Carry to purchase or transfer from an FFL Dealer. Thank you for the question! -The Total Defense Team

I traded in 2 pistols and bought a different pistol, Jeff helped me out. As somewhat of a novice gun owner I had some basic questions. Jeff was very professional and didn't make me feel dumb, which I really appreciated. I feel he also gave me a fair price on my trade ins. If you are new to firearms you won't feel intimidated here. They also have a great selection of accessories.

Been going here for years. Everyone I have dealt with has been great, outgoing and pleasant to talk to. I actually drive past a gun shop on my way here. Prices are in line with the area but what sets them apart is the customer experience.

The conceal and carry class with Andrew is top notch. You learn about laws, legal aspects and the morals/responsibility of a permit to carry. I took this class because Andrew himself was so kind and made me feel welcome when discussing the class a few weeks before I took it.

Incredible customer service. Came in the night before hunting opener to sight my gun in. My mom gave me her card info to get a lane, and they needed the physical copy. Instead of turning me away the lady ran out to my car to offer me a lane. Not only did she save me a return trip, but she also got my return business whenever I'm near the area. 10/10 would recommend.

First met the owners when they first came to Ramsey years ago, not sure what kind of Circus Clown off their meds and skipping therapy would ever give this place less than 5 stars. Excellent service.

Went to get a holster made for a Glock and believed, falsely, that it would be done while I waited. No real problem there but the holster I received looked like the person who made it had never even seen kydex before. The sweat guard prevents a combat grip on the pistol prior to draw, unless I want to slice my hand open, and the whole thing is wider than I am. There is no way that I could use this holster for anything more than absolutely nothing. Don’t waste your time or money… *UPDATE* While my opinion of the holster hasn’t changed, I do have to give the staff at Total Defense credit. They reached out and attempted to make things right. They were super friendly and easy to work with and were very effusive about how sorry they were about my experience. They took the return with no complaints and, again, reiterated to me how they wanted to make things right. I cannot honestly recommend the holsters (although, to be fair, I saw a number of their rigs available that seemed to be totally fine in all aspects), I can recommend the staff and the shop. They messed something up. That happens. What is more important is the lengths they went to make it right. Upgraded to 3 stars.
