I recently called the Airport Police Department and had a lengthly and civilized discussion with the on duty dispatcher. I asked the question "what is the MSP airport policy on carrying a firearm with a permit as long as you do not attempt to go through a screening checkpoint?" after being put on hold for several minutes I was told 'they allow legal carrying of firearms in the non-secure areas of the airport' the dispatcher then paused for a second and told me this as well "however we recommend you do not carry while at the airport because it could cause a big scene and panic" he made sure i knew that the process was just the same as anywhere else. where they would call and verify the permit and all that just like anytime an officer felt the need to validate a permit.
there was more to the conversation but it was mostly rephrasing and re-asking of the same things.
