Rules

If I have my conceal and carry permit in Minnesota (I live in MN) can I buy a handgun in Wisconsin and bring it back with me? Or do I have to have them ship it to a FFL in MN and complete everything here?

Looking for some recommendations on someone who can either hand stipple or laser stipple a Glock.

Please don’t tell me to do it myself, I don’t want to

EDIT: thanks for the help yall appreciate it 🙏

Hey yall I just moved up here from Fl, I just had a couple general questions I tried researching but I don’t read legalese too well.

1.) do you need a permit to buy a bolt action rifle?

2.) is there a waiting period after buying a bolt action rifle?

I’m asking bolt action rifle specifically cause I parsed out you need a permit for assault style weapons, thank yall very much 🙏

I was wondering if anyone out there recently submitted a permit to carry application and was it a new one or renewal and how long did you have to wait to get it back?

Wanted to pick up a cheap Savage Mark ii, but my local ( Forest lake) does not have stock. Which Walmart still sell firearms? Figured I'd call around.

So from what i understand that in mn you need to have ANY firearm serialized so does that mean i could attach a dog tag that has a "fake serialization" on it and attach it to the lower or a 3DP item and that makes it legal ? or would i have to bring it to a actual FFL to have it all done and put in my name to legally "own it"

Looking to peruse stores with a wide variety of used handguns on hand. Not really wanting to pay the full price for new guns when they won’t be my main shooter anyway.

What places would you recommend near the Twin Cities that have a selection of used handguns for reasonable prices? I think Scheel’s and Cabela’s do have a few, but not always?

Are pawn shops even any good?

Thanks all, happy holidays!

Does anyone know of a place near the twin cities area that offer FORM 1 engraving services on polymer? I formed 1 a CP33 and would like the engraving to be on the polymer portion near the serial number. It does not look like there is enough space on the piece of the metal.

Talk with in the industry is that major price increases are coming across all manufactures when Trump's tariffs hit. Even US manufactures will see these increases, as much of their raw materials come from overseas. Additionally, they're going to increase their prices to earn larger profits as imported brands raise theirs due to tariffs.

What's everyone looking to buy before those price increases hit the entire industry?

I have a gun and I got the wrong size barrel. How would I go about selling it locally? What’s recommended? I don’t even know where to start.

Great job by Minnesota to go after a manufacturer instead of the real problem, awesome logic. Every dumbass hood kid running around with an illegal obtained firearm and an illegal modification to it isn't the problem, it's the gun manufacturer. The people who love their, "glizzys wit da switch" are just expressing their culture, they're not the problem I guess, no need to go after them with the law.

This state is truly becoming as backwards and stupid as California everyday. Great job by our self-proclaimed "goofball" governor, no balls Wallz, and his silly staff.

So delta tactical has frts for sale and MN is not on the restricted list any update on these triggers? Not finding anything online.

Hey all. My home was broken into and some firearms were stolen. I provided a list of SNs to the police. Beyond that, what can I do to try to recover these? It's my understanding that there isn't really a database to log the SNs as stolen to flag if/when they're sold.

Would bringing a list to the local gun shops be worth anybody's time? Are there websites I could visit and search by SN?

Some of these were family heirlooms (sentimental over valuable), so I'm hoping I can track some of them down...

Thanks all.

Heartbroken, but hopefully.

Does anyone have a good contact who will ship guns sold on gunbroker? The guy I used for a long time no longer does it and I have been looking for suggestions on whoever else to use who doesn't charge outrageous prices. Thanks

any ranges ~1 hour from metro that have outdoor bays to shoot on the move ? Getting bored of indoors/shooting only to 20yards. Would also like to draw from a holster which nobody lets you do.

So Christmas is nearing and I want to gift my brother a shotgun. I did some research, but couldn't come to a conclusion on what and how exactly it works without making it a straw purchase or illegall. I want to give it to him as a surprise.

I have a permit to carry, but he does not. We live in the same state. He's not a felon. I want to gift him a shotgun for christmas. How would I go about this?

Just checking my understanding because it seemed a bit peculiar- when I am changing my address with an active permit to carry I am still required to provide the last 5 years of addresses, correct? Or do I only put my newest address with the date I moved?

Hey y’all, I’m filing out my permit to purchase right now and I’m a bit stumped on this section of it. For this section, I should I write in the local police department? And if so who should I write down as the “agency contact person”? Thanks for any help.

Hey all. Just a question. I’m a 26 year old male looking to advance into the armed security field and am required to have a CCW for the company I am planning to apply for. I have heard from a not so trustworthy source (family member who’s known to be a compulsive liar) that the state would not grant me a permit because of an underage consumption ticket from when I was 20 years old. I was not driving a vehicle at the time of the ticket but walking home from a party. I’m much more mature now and looking to make a little more money. Any of you know if I would have a problem if I applied for my permit?

Hi everyone! I’m looking at maybe picking up a .22lr for some small game and target shooting. Really just something cheap. Normally I enjoy doing my research to ensure I get exactly what I want, but I really feel like just perusing some store and picking one off a shelf. Is Scheels, fleet farm, and cabelas going to be the best option for me if I want a large selection? I’m near the metro area.

ND Resident. In MN for the weekend and I can’t remember the exact ruling. Would I need a MN permit to purchase to buy an AR in MN as an ND resident

I built two AR15s last year with suppressors. I had intended to hit the range this past spring.

But our second child was born and that understandably took up my life. Then we moved. Just two huge life events and I’m now embarrassingly realizing I haven’t shot either guns. They still need to be properly grouped and zero’d.

I think when I was researching ranges, the South Saint Paul Sportman’s Club seemed adequate for just an hour or two of plinking? Any other recommendations? And tips for etiquette with AR15s at the range? No different than a pistol?

I’ve only ever shot M4s in the Army and those ranges were handheld robotic sessions with instructions at every corner so an outdoor range outside of that is a different concept.

I go to the Modern Sportsman but it's quite the drive for me and also I get bored indoors. Where do people in the Eagan/Apple Valley/Burnsville/Inver Grove area go shoot outdoors, legally and safely? I'd love to join someone.

$100 3D build comes out with FRT and binary options (Decker .380) but we get screwed in two months on legally possessing them. Lame as hell man.

I've got a handful of guns I want to sell, but I don't really want to take them to a shop where they're trying to make their 40%, because the guns I have are all pretty cheap as is. What's the best way to find buyers now in Minnesota? I've heard GunBroker is hard to sell through if you're just a private citizen.

Hey, I just moved out of Ramsey County to Anoka county. Can I still purchase firearms or wait to inform my sheriff departments about my new address? It’s been about a week since my move.

Does anyone know of a place to send in a stripped pistol frame and slide for nickel plating? I am thinking about doing it myself, but a lot of people online have said it is harder than it looks. I have pretty much all the tools to do it, but I'd be fine with sending it in if the finished product looks better.
