Bill > HF4381

This bill requires the safe storage of firearms and ammunition in Minnesota. It mandates that firearm owners store their firearms unloaded and with a locking device, separate from the ammunition. The bill also requires that anyone transferring a firearm provide a locking device to the transferee, unless the transferee already owns a compatible locking device. The bill imposes various criminal penalties, including misdemeanors, gross misdemeanors, and felonies, for violations of the safe storage requirements, depending on the circumstances. The bill also repeals an existing law related to the negligent storage of firearms.
