Rules

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.

Does anyone have a recommendation for somewhere local to get custom engraving done on a gun? I could certainly use someone somewhere else but would love a local artist if possible.

Recently got a new rifle was wondering if someone has some land i could shoot out to 500 on would be awesome realistically 400 would work

I was shooting my 6 year old Beretta M9A3 today and my once reliable nightstand handgun was struggling a bit. It had some misfires at the start and the decocker was very sticky.

I clean it as well as I can after every range visit but I think it’s time I let a professional give it a “tune up.” Strip it bare, give it a reset - something like that.

Is that a thing? If so, what are some recommended places? I’d prefer the West Metro if possible. Thanks in advance.

Edit: I will add that I was at Bill’s in Robbinsdale today and asked them about their gunsmith. I guess he’s retiring and they aren’t taking in any more service requests.

Hi I was wondering if I needed a permit to purchase this Ruger Pc 9 in Minnesota

BEWARE BEWARE !! Gunbroker seller: Barrels and arrows in MN

I would highly recommend you do NOT give your business to this seller. I bought a pistol from them in september on gunbroker, they shipped me a pistol that was not the one in the listing. I called to tell the seller and he said he would make it right by sending me the missing pistol parts to complete my purchase. Every other week I would call to follow up and he gives me a lie “it’ll be there Wednesday” the last two phone calls were me asking for a tracking number for the parts he promised to send. It’s now been two months and nothing, the last time I called him was 10 days ago to tell him that I need the tracking number he’s been promising for the past 2 months, he said he doesn’t have it and would refund me instead. A refund doesn’t take 7 business days. It would have already reflected on my account.

All a man has is his word and his balls and you shouldn’t break them for anybody. This man repeatedly broke his word. Very bad business.

Hello everyone, I just recently moved here to MN from AZ and I’ve been looking around for some outdoor ranges. I use to only shoot at outdoor ranges in AZ due to the nice weather and well indoor ranges were more strict. Any recommendations on outdoor ranges in the twin cities that aren’t so expensive or ones that you don’t need a membership to go shoot? I have a pistol and a AR so I would like a range where I can shoot both.

Hi,

I’m moving from Arizona to Minnesota next year and have some questions.

I was originally going to send most of my guns via AZ FFL to MN FFL. Would I have to wait until I got my MN driver license to pick them up?

An alternate idea was to disassemble them and drive with them in locked pelicans, but I’m concerned about theft as it’s a 3 or 4 day drive.

I saw you need a permit to purchase a long gun with a pistol grip – would a normal 16" barrel AR-15 or AKM rifle fall into this category? Do I need a permit to transfer or bring them with me to MN or is that just for purchases?

I think I read the city of Minneapolis technically has an unenforceable AWB - is this just for city limits? I'll likely move to a suburb south of the Twin Cities.

Thank you for your time.

Can a Michigan resident go to Cabela’s in Minnesota and buy a shotgun?

Hi,

I know that the statutory requirement is 30 days. In the past, processing times have varied by county.

What is your county and how many days did it take for you to receive your Carry Permit?

So there seems to be groups about deer, duck, or pheasant hunting. Is there anything for rabbit or squirrel? That's probably what I'll be starting with.

Say your buddy and you are walking and some big jack guy pushes him for no apparent reason and poses a threat to physically assault him. Would it be legal for me to brandish a gun to scare off this would be bully?

Edit: Thank you for all this helpful information! Even though you guys aren’t lawyers you guys are all so knowledgeable! Thank You!

Hi I was wondering when I fill this part out with my permit to purchase do I fill it out with the rest of the paperwork or after I get it in the mail.

Does anyone know spots where I can drive out to and shoot (legally) in nature (federal or state land)? Been trying to find spots using google but wasn’t able to find anything promising.

Can I use my permit to purchase to buy another handgun if I’ve already used it to buy one? Or do I need a different permit to purchase to buy another firearm? Might be a silly question but can’t seem to find the answer anywhere.

A sweet-a$$ revolver is waiting for me to pick it up at FFL, but I forgot that my permit to purchase has expired and I've submitted for Renewal only yesterday. When I asked "it takes like a week, right?", PD clerk told me it could take a lot more than before. They said there's an uptick in the applications. I wonder what's up with that.

Anyone with a recent experience, what are the waiting times like?

Has anyone locally applied for a Florida carry permit. I have a finger print card that needs to be mailed into Florida’s license department but it says that it has to be done with a local law enforcement agency. I don’t recall the Hennepin County sheriffs office offering this but looking for some guidance on completing the process from those who’ve successfully applied.

Hello,

Can I own a Mossberg 590 with more than 5 rounds of capacity? I was reading that it would be considered tactical if it had a capacity of more than 5 rounds, making it illegal. Is this accurate?

I have an 1973 Astra Revolver that was my dad's that I'd like to restore. It functions fine and it's nothing fancy or rare but has some rust and I'd like to re-finish it. Ahlman's does it for $290.

I love Ahlman's but it's just so far away. Anyone recommendation of a place closer to the cities that does this kind of work?

I’m 18 years old and thinking about applying for a Permit to Purchase (P2P) here in Minnesota. I want to confirm whether having a P2P would allow me to legally buy a handgun from a dealer or through a private sale. I understand that I can’t carry it in public without a Permit to Carry (P2C), but I’m wondering if I could still legally own it, keep it at home, and take it to a range.

Would appreciate any insights or advice on this!

Hello, I am a couple months away from becoming 21 y/o, I'm looking to purchase my first handgun, I know that there is a form online that I need to fill out and bring to my local police station and have it etc. Is there anything I know before hand to make this process easier and not be denied?

R/Minnesota is talking about his latest statements and how they are all calling for him to be more “proactive” like CA and IL since they control the MN government.

Also have to say it seems a ton of people on that subreddit are not from Mn now just so they can profess their love for Walz.

Wondering what people think here?
