I am a Minnesota resident with a Minnesota pistol permit issued by Minnesota. If I carry a pistol such as a GSG-5P in a gun rack attached to the dash and uncased the gun is not carried on my person. Is this legal?

| my carry instructor told me(i believe) there are a couple(5 or 7) counties that ban gun rack carrying. those counties contain mostly the twin cities. also i am highly considering getting a GSG-5, what do you think of it?

It is legal.
The carry law exempts from penalties someone "...who carries, holds, or possesses a pistol in a motor vehicle, snowmobile, or boat, or on or about the person's clothes or the person, or otherwise in possession or control in a public place..." if they have a carry permit.
Just don't leave it there when you step out of the car while passengers without permits are still in the car. They would immediately have "constructive possession" of the pistol and could be charged with violation of the statute.
