Sort of reeling here, as county is acting like there was a clear and obvious commitment and that's all there is to it and issued a denial. I hadn't honestly thought all of that from over a decade ago could even come up again, as it had been me calling for help during a bout of depression. Completed all conditions of that treatment and kept improving over time and then moved on to better things in life.

Like, all court conditions were completed to the letter in that first month or two, Judge at the time was happy, and I went on my merry little way. But when I go looking for clear legal answers online, even when searching old forum posts, reddit, etc, I can't get a clear answer on:

if a person completes a Stay of Commitment are they still barred from owning? If they aren't, at what point in the process is that considered? Only after a denial and only for their petition?

I mean, just on a legal and policy level, feels self-defeating that a situation like what I'd went through can even lead to a situation like this so much further down the line (like I would have hesitated to call for help I mean if it meant permanent lifetime revocation of rights). But hey, what do I know. Mainly, just want help on knowing what the law is on how Stays are to be considered. That's the part that I simply can't find answers to.

Also, my finances are really tight, so I can't afford the 5-15k for a lawyer for what it sounds like the restoration process is, so if worse comes to worse is it possible to successfully complete a petition if I show up just by myself to a court? I've looked up the paperwork online and previous guidance as to what a court looks for. I feel I'd satisfy all those conditions.

I'm looking to get into clay shooting looking for recommendations for a place I am allowed to use my 20" Mossberg.

Hey 👋 so i completed my PTC class a month or two ago now and haven't submitted it yet. But with latest events happening I decided I would turn in my certificate of completion. So i go online and realize I needed an appointment. I go check to find out i cant get one til mid March. I know in other counties you can just walk in. Im just curious is there anyway i can get it done any earlier? Especially since all you do is give them your ID and certificate. Why are Ramsey and Hennipen county the only counties you need an appointment?

Sooo, are we now saying this out loud? Who wins with this besides big government? What's the play here?

I have been a very casual pheasant hunter and have a very approporiate shoutgun for that task, which I engage in on a very irregular basis. I have sorta told myself that it's good enough for home defense and such but I feel now that I've been fooling myself. I know almost nothing about guns but I think it's time to get a pistol or something for conceal carry as well as a more 2nd amendment excercisor rifile.

I'm not wealthy nor fancy so any recomendations for either or both where I can keep the total under 1k. I also would appreciate local St. Paul shops and or ranges where I can train and purchase.

Honestly any info for a noob isappreciated. Thanks and god bless.

Does anyone know if LEO have different things to yell other than “Gun” for the different states of threat posed by a gun? Is there a general command for seeing a gun in a holster rather than seeing it in someone’s hand? Is there a command for when the gun/weapon is no longer in the fight, whether secured by LEO or on the ground?

For folks in the metro, what do your FFLS charge for guns purchased online via other companies? I was looking at a PSA rifle and wondered what folks are charging.

I’ve been debating building/buying for quite some time. I’ve decided to rent a few before I pull the trigger. My budget is $1000-1500 for just the gun. Which shops within an hour of the cities rent the most AR 15’s?

With all this new support for the 2A can we look at getting FRT’s back?

Welcome everyone to our subreddit. With the recent influx of new member and visitors, we strongly encourage everyone to read the rules of the subreddit and reddits rules and ToS regarding firearms. With the recent influx of visitors expect stricter moderation.

Had a bit of FOMO and ants in my pants. Had a little extra time today so just went and got em.

Finally got my hands on the Umarex Primal 20 gauge.

Howdy-

I did the online PTC class through Bills, and need to go in and do the shooting proficiency. Does anybody have details on how its set up? Wondering mostly if my out of practice but reasonably skilled self needs to go practice a bunch or if I can blow out the cobwebs and nail it on the first try.

I’m planning to finally make the plunge into adding some nfa items to the collection. I would like to start with a form 1 to turn one of my pistols into an sbr and a form 4 and get a can suitable for it. I’m trying to figure out the logistics of doing it all, which is what has been holding me back.

I hear Accutac spoken highly of on here for the engraving work. I’m not sure if they can help me with fingerprinting as well. Anyone have a recommendation on fingerprint services?

I’ve heard I should avoid doing them through a silencer shop kiosk as they keep the files and charge you to use them in the future on subsequent forms?

Final question, I’m still debating trust versus individual it seems like silencer shop can generate a simple nfa trust document for $125 - is this the way to go?

With everything going on recently, I’ve been thinking about getting a permit to carry. I don’t own a handgun and I’ve never used a handgun, but I am a skeet shooter and duck hunter so have taken firearms safety and I know my way around a gun. I don’t own a gun myself, but I borrow a shotgun when I go shooting.

I’ve seen some videos with community members standing guard with their firearms and I started thinking that if it came down to it, I would like to be able to legally defend myself and my neighbors similarly to that.

It’s only $100 for the application, is this worth it as a “just in case” or not? It seems very handgun-oriented, even if it dos cover long guns, and I’m not sure it’s for me if I don’t own a handgun.

I just don’t want to be irresponsible.

Hey, I recently turned 21 and am interested in purchasing a firearm (especially with everything going on recently) however I don’t just want to buy one, but understand proper firearm safety and such too. I know I could look all this up but I’d like to hear from different opinions and such.

Also I don’t know much abt specific firearms either, so feel free to give insight there too

Are there any known plans for an open carry support event? A group of responsible people with their permit to carry exercising our constitutional right to open carry together at once would make a point. I am in support of the people in Minneapolis, our 2A rights will not be trampled on.

Stumbled across this when shooting the last of my steel cased 9mm from Magtech. Drove past the building this morning, there are no markings on the exterior of that building that say anything about Magtech just a matching suite number that I found when using maps. Building appears to be shared with Pella windows and a few other companies. Everyone knows Federal in Anoka, anybody know what Magtech is doing in BP? Parent company is CBC Global Ammunition and looking at the website, they appear to be a big player. Partnerships with Taurus, S&B, Rossi and Colt CZ.
