Both Minnesota and the Federal Government have regulations and restrictions regarding firearm possession. However, more than 50% of America’s households have guns within them. Any firearm-related conviction carries very serious consequences. You could lose certain constitutional rights, such as the right to vote and the right to carry a concealed weapon.

In Minnesota, the guns statutes permit individuals to own firearms and to carry them in public places. However, the proper permits must be in place before either can be done. Another factor when it comes to regulations and restrictions is when there is a sign on a public establishment that states firearms are not to be brought inside despite the presence of a permit to carry the weapon. Schools prohibit the carrying of firearms within the buildings and on the property and even churches have the right to prohibit firearms anywhere on the property.
