FAQ
Both open carry and concealed carry are legal with a Minnesota Permit to Carry a Pistol (PCP) or a permit from a state Minnesota honors, as there is no stipulation in the law regarding whether that weapon must be concealed.
The Second Amendment prevents the government from infringing on one's right to keep and bear arms. The Amendment has led to intense debates about whether the right applies to everyone or just those involved with a state militia and what types of gun control regulations the government may impose.
The bill, authored by Rep. Kaela Berg (DFL - Burnsville), makes straw purchases of firearms a felony and improves the effectiveness of the current law prohibiting the activity, strengthens the statutory definition of trigger activators, and requires reporting on gun trafficking and firearm seizures.
For those with more than one conviction, the court may restore firearms rights two years after completion of sentence for most felonies, or after 10 years for a serious felony (such as murder or sexual assault). For a person convicted of a “dangerous felony” firearms rights may only be restored by pardon.
Regardless of the offense type, all felons may not possess a firearm until the sentence has expired, including any period of probation or supervised release.
Prop 47 Does Not Restore Firearm Rights A Prop 47 reduction from a felony to a misdemeanor will not restore your firearm rights. In order to restore your firearm rights, you will first need to reduce your felony to a misdemeanor for all purposes under Penal Code 17b, not Prop 47.
If your rights to possess a firearm and/or ammunition have been permanently taken away and you want to be able to lawfully possess a firearm and/or ammunition, you will need to ask the court to restore your rights. This process is commonly referred to as Restoration of Civil Rights.
If your rights have not been permanently taken away, the court will automatically restore your civil rights to possess a firearm and ammunition as soon as the law allows. If you believe that your permit to carry was improperly denied, you can ask the court to review the denial.
A person presently charged with a crime punishable by imprisonment for more than one year is not entitled to receive any handgun or semiautomatic military-style assault weapon. In addition, persons under age 18 may not generally possess a handgun or a semiautomatic military-style assault weapon.
