Q: How should I transport my firearm in a state I cannot legally carry in?

A: The best way would be, unload the firearm, enclose it either in a box or pistol rug and put it in your trunk. Some States require that you have a lock on the case. It’s best to keep the ammo separate from the firearm. If you have a vehicle that does not have a trunk, put the unloaded firearm in a locked box and put it behind the seat in a pickup or all the way in the back of an SUV. See United States Title 18 - Part I - Chapter 44

§ 926A on the Interstate Transportation of Firearms. “Please note” some States will ban some types of handguns and magazines. Please check their local laws on ban guns and magazines.

Q: Will a past arrest prevent me from getting a permit?

A: Yes and No.

Some County Sheriffs in Minnesota will deny an applicant if you have been arrested but were not charged or was found not guilty. Ramsey County is good at this. Ramsey County will use the catch all of MN Statue 624.714, sub 6, paragraph (b). “Determined that there exists a substantial likelihood that the applicant is a danger to self or others if authorized to carry a pistol under a permit”. Please note, that in most cases you can buy and own a handgun but can’t carry it when you are deny. Students of KOSCIELSKI’S GUNS AND AMMO will help you with your repeal. You have 20 Business days to repeal.
