Rules

Can I bring my p80 to the range? I'm I'm st paul need to test it out. And if I was 18 would that be a problem? (I'm 21) I've been to Oakdale range plenty of times as a younger kid, I'm just wondering if any red flags will be raised or anything I just want to shoot

my uncle has like 5acres up north MN, he said i could go there and shoot. im very new to this, ive only been to indoor ranges. is there noise ordinances, whats the legality of just target shooting on a private property, from what my uncle tells me its all state land around this property.

Ford Township.

Looking for best place for selection and/or price in minneaplis area to buy 300 blk subsonic range ammo and subsonic defense rounds. Seems the few places ive been dont have either.

I do have some subsonic ammo for range but want to get a few other brands and defense rounds for range trip next weekend to see what runs the best in my new 300.

Any recommendations?

I’m looking to get a truck gun. I would like something a little bigger like an AR pistol or maybe even something along the lines of a CZ scorpion or something similar that I can keep loaded and uncased. I do have my permit to carry but I’m having a hard time finding an answer as to what is exactly legal as far as an AR pistol is concerned that doesn’t seem really gray. And I do understand that it would have to be holstered in the the vehicle. Thanks!!

I have my concealed carry license and went to purchase my first new pistol Wednesday and was delayed. I’m just wondering how long they can delay the purchase. I was under the impression that I could just walk in and buy a pistol same day, as I missing something.

Who has been up to Chengwatana State Forest this year? Is there a need for a trash clean up? I’m looking to shoot there this summer somewhat frequently, anyone else from the twin cities metro make the drive there to shoot?

I keep getting threats from people with guns at my school. I want to at least be able to defend my home if they actually do follow through. They’re psychos who glorify Elliot Rodgers and the Columbine shooters and have recently plotting “revenge” against a whole list of people which included me. They mugged my friend yesterday n I’m hella scared. I wanna be able to buy a gun to defend myself and my family but my family is extremely liberal and wants to abolish the 2A. Is there a way I can keep a gun in the house without them knowing? I feel it’d be very suspicious carrying a duffel bag into my room so suddenly.

Just out of curiosity, how long does it take on average for a sheriff to approve cc permit on average? Laws states maximum is 30 days but want to know if that's expected or if its usually pretty quick

It's really cool living 20 minutes away from where they originally designed and again manufacture a very iconic firearm with a cool history. I think everyone here would like a Desert Eagle in their collection if they don't already have one.

I am in the process of building a few firearms from scratch and would like to have them serialized in case they are ever stolen. I know the requirements for what has to be on the serial number but would I have to notify anyone or provide them the serial number (county sheriff, ATF, etc.)? They are not NFA items which is why I'm confused.

One of the more prominent quotes:

" That bill also would require annual reports on gun trafficking and ban binary triggers, which allow regular guns to become automatic. "

Oh really?

Hello,

Not a MN resident, but work and spend a lot of time in MN (I have WI residency). My question- over in Western WI, options are pretty slim for suppressor shops, and even slimmer if they have a kiosk. I know MN has some better options. Can I, as a WI resident with a MN permit, purchase a suppressor over there? I know I can buy long guns that are not "assault style", and I cannot buy pistols, but I'm having a hard time finding some factual information on whether or not I can buy a can.

Thanks

I just received my permit to purchase in the mail, and on it says permit to acquire handguns does this mean I can buy hand guns or does it work for ars aswell cause I’m 20 not 21

Second time coming to the gun fair and it was just disappointing. Compared to last year it seems only had like half the vendors and the vendors this year didn’t bring as much stuff this year either to try or buy. Anyone know the reason why this years Reeds gun fair was so small?

Hey everyone! I'm from Minnesota but I currently live out of the country. This July I'm returning to visit for a bit with my Spanish girlfriend. We'd like to go to a shooting range just to try the experience, but neither of us have used a gun before. So,

1. Is it possible for us to go to a range without any kind of license?

2. If yes, does anyone know of a range that offers classes or 'experiences' where we can go, learn to shoot and then spend some time on a range?

Thanks!

Any good spots to get cerakote done here in the cities ?

Looking for recommendations on a MN gunsmith (preferably within an hour of the metro) that knows roller-delay platforms like the PTR-91.

I have one that is finicky with ammo and want to get it checked out.

Thanks!

I’m 20 and was told by a pawn store owner that I would have an extended waiting period since I’m under 21 on any gun I’d want to buy even with a permit to purchase. Wondering how long I’d have to wait from the day I file to purchase a firearm to when I can pick it up or if there’s is a waiting period.

EDIT: I have called around and asked in stores, seems there’s a minimum 3 day waiting period for people under 21 and it could take up to 10 days for those with a PtP. Thank you all for any help or advice you might have put on this thread.

Without bipartisan support these bills are likely dead. That or she doesn’t resign and votes in favor of these bills and causes a ruckus in Minnesota politics.

Anyone know of a dumpster rental that will haul away residential landscaping rock? Most don't, all I've found is "atomic recycling"

A little context - I was gifted a firearm through private transfer around 2018 (the gifter passed away), which I have kept locked up and never used since. I have been going through my belongings as I am getting ready to move states, and would like to get rid of the firearm before moving. As far as I know there is no documentation or permits surrounding the firearm, I am unsure if the gifter filled out transfer paperwork, and I know little about the firearm. I want to relinquish the firearm, but am unsure if I will get into legal trouble (specifically because of the 2023 law about private transfer).

I was mainly wondering if there is a way to anonymously relinquish the firearm to ensure it is safely disposed of by law enforcement or other responsible legal entities. I want to ensure the firearm is either disposed of, or transfered to a responsible owner, while additionally ensuring I don't face legal reprocussions in light of the public transfer law.

Sadly, since the gifter passed away I have no way of knowing the orgin or if/any paperwork associated with the firearm. I think anonymous relinquishment would be my best bet, but I'd love any advice. Thanks in advanced!

Anybody been to this show? I was driving and saw signs for it and wondered if it was worth going.

Question for those more informed than myself: I know that immediate family transfers are excluded from the new 2023 rules, but there is one aspect that I am not sure of. My father is an Arizona resident but is coming up here in July and wants to give me his old 1911. Being that he is not a MN resident, does that change anything about the immediate family exclusion with the transfer rules? Is there anything him or I would need to do to make it legal? Thank you in advance!

This is something I have often wondered about and don’t know what can really be done with this states laws.

My company has adopted a no firearms policy on company property. They tried to ban firearms in personal vehicles while parked in the company parking lot. This was pointed out to be illegal as the parking lot was not secured by a fence.

My issue is that they have recently came up with a company provided vehicle policy. In this policy they ban the transportation of firearms. However they are going to allow the company vehicle to be used for peronal reasons.

According to my company, Transportation from the home to the office and from the office to home is apparently defined as a personal use for tax purposes and thus I will need to claim this on my tax forms. As well as any usage other usage other than work purposes, such as weekend use, lunch runs at the office, and other miscellaneous errands.

I am wondering if I, as a MN permit to carry holder, am legally allowed to carry a firearm in my company provided vehicle, while operating for personal reasons. Even though the transportation of firearms is banned by my company.

I tried to search and I could only find information about personal vehicles on company property. I haven't signed the policy as of yet, but I want to know what the laws are prior to discussing with my company.
