In August 2023, a new law went into effect that requires you to fill out a specific form for private firearm transfers. The form is accessible online. To buy, sell or transfer firearms in a private transaction from one individual in Minnesota to another, you do not need a federal firearms license (FFL).
Must be a US citizen or legal alien. Applicants must have a current Minnesota driver's license, Minnesota ID card or passport with supporting residency documentation on their person at the time of application. Must be 21 years or older under federal law to acquire handguns from licensed dealers. Must not be a fugitive.
For example, your rights to possess a firearm and ammunition can be taken away under Minnesota law because of a criminal conviction, because someone gets an Order for Protection against you, or because you have been committed to a mental health treatment facility in Minnesota or another state.
Once received, the office has 30 days to process the application. A Permit to Carry is valid for five years and is renewable.
Some states allow an applicant to complete an application online, while others require an in-person visit to the office of the respective issuing authority. There are even states that require the applicant provide a list of non-related character references.
