FAQ
Under federal law, felons are prohibited from owning or possessing firearms. Some states return a felon's civil rights to own a gun after serving their sentence or a waiting period. If you live with a felon, you have to make sure gun access is limited so they don't have constructive possession.
Certain civil rights, such as the right to possess firearms and ammunition and the right to vote, are sometimes taken away when a person is convicted of a crime.
Violent Criminals. Generally, a person convicted of a crime of violence may not possess a firearm until ten years after the sentence has expired. The “sentence” includes any period of probation or supervised release.
Under Minnesota law, some individuals who have lost their gun rights due to a felony conviction will have their gun rights restored automatically upon the completion of all conditions of their felony sentence, including probation.
To be eligible for the restoration of gun rights in Minnesota, felons must satisfy several requirements: completing any sentence imposed, including probation or parole and demonstrating that they have been rehabilitated and no longer pose a risk to public safety.
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.
