Shall-issue of handgun carry permits is now law in Minnesota:
Gov. Tim Pawlenty on Tuesday signed a bill that allows easier statewide access to handgun permits. The law, which restores an identical 2003 measure that was struck down by the courts, takes effect immediately.
The concealed-carry law allows law-abiding people older than 21 to get a gun permit as long as they have a clean record, no mental illness and proper safety training

If it is identical, can’t the courts just strike it down again?

No, the first one was struck down on a procedural issue that does not apply to the second. So in that technical sense, the bills are NOT identical.
