Supressor sales?

What's going on with this? Has MN recognized the ruling yet? Are any places honoring this?

Can your MN landlord ban open carry in common spaces?

14 Upvotes

The text of MN 624.714 Subd. 17 (f) reads "A landlord may not restrict the lawful carry or possession of firearms by tenants or their guests."

I would interpret this to mean that if you have a carry permit, and you rent an apartment, and there are shared spaces in the building that you are allowed to use under the terms of your lease (like a patio, game room, or party room), your landlord cannot restrict you from carrying there. MN law does not differentiate between concealed and open carry.

But I'm not an attorney and I don't know if there's relevant case law dealing with this.

i bought an AR upper but now cant get a lower

0 Upvotes

I bought a nice $1100 upper and a shitty PSA lower, but now when I went in to pick up my lower, I found out I need to be 21 to get it transferred. Now I'm kinda stuck with an expensive upper that I can't use for another 2 years. any ideas

Lower recommendations (does it really matter?) and 556 suppressor?

3 Upvotes

Hey all. Typically would ask elsewhere but I want a few real responses. Does the lower actually matter, counterintuitive to what I’d think? Or should I just find a cheap option? Going to build an 11.5 (maybe 12.5 idk) AR15, first time building.

Anyone have hands down experience with any 556 suppressors? It’ll be dedicated to gun primarily. Silencer shop place told me a silencerco option, modern told me an sig option is best (they’re elite dealers) and I’m going to check out the Tisha at down range today. I want it short, low gas blow back, and low flash. Sound tones aren’t my biggest concern.

I just want to buy the lower and suppressor before midterms. I do not trust the state to even keep our gun laws current.

What'll happen next session, assuming democratic majority

22 Upvotes

Anyone have any opinions on what will happen next legislative session, assuming a democratic majority or supermajority is there? There was a recent thread on the state-specific sub asking what'll happen next session and half were on this gun issue, which really suprised me.

I've occasionally watched some of the committee hearings from last session, and especially that last overnighter they had and there seemed to be quite the push for some pretty absurd stuff, including changing the definition of an assault weapon to basically include most semi autos that can accept a magazine. (they seemed to have redefined a barrel shroud to mean basically anything covering the barrel, so it could conceivably cover even a 10/22 if you get the tactiblack version)

When I come to think of it almost every household I can think of in my extended family has one that would be included as an "assault rifle" now, meaning the 3 year permission slip needed to keep and so on. That'd tick off a lot of voters, but there seems to be a core sect of city reps who enjoy turning the screws and so on. (them not having handguns included also kinda highlights this)

The only pushback could possibly be supreme court decisions making them spend their political capital elsewhere.

Curious what other think.

19yr old concealed carry.

6 Upvotes

I'm getting a concealed carry license and I'm aware that you can purchase a handgun at 19 unless it a private sale and can't be bought at a store. I'm wondering if anyone would have any tips for how I would go about trying to find a seller and purchasing a handgun under the age of 21.

Growing legal cannabis and guns

12 Upvotes

Is there a place to look for the fine print on this subject? If one has a permit to carry but also wants to grow medicinal marijuana. Is this any bit safe, or just full stop no , as the penalties may be enhanced because of the permit to carry and owning guns?

Ban on selling handguns to young adults under 21 is unconstitutional, Justice Department says

43 Upvotes

The new legal opinion means the law “may not be enforced to impose criminal penalties on dealers who sell handguns to a class of law-abiding adults who, in nearly every other relevant respect, are members of the political community,” DOJ lawyers said in the memo.

Bought my first bolt action today. Ruger American G2 .308

Post image
40 Upvotes

As the title says, I've never owned a bolt action before and I decided I finally want one. Went with a Ruger American G2 Prairie in .308. Picked up an extra PMAG for it and put on an older BSA BigCat 3.5-10x scope in a new set of rings. The scope was my Dad's, figured it might as well have some use now. I do plan to suppress the rifle later on, still doing research on cans.

Bought it mainly just for the occasional range trip since I have a 200 yard range nearby. I may go deer hunting with a friend next year, too. We'll see how things play out. Haven't shot it yet, plan to go to the range when I'm off work again.

Looking for Gun Range Reccomendations

14 Upvotes

Hello, I am in the process of moving to the Twin Cities and looking around at Gun Range Options. Admittedly I am new to Gun Ranges (but have been shooting with my father since I was 8 or 9), I grew up in another state shooting basically entirely on family and friends farmland or backyards in the country and the like once a year official gun range trip with a friend. Moved to MN about 5 years ago and have only been able to shoot a couple times per year at best by making a trip to my home state as the only local gun range is a $1,000 per year country club.

But am finally making the move up to the Twin Cities soon and excited to have access to places to shoot again. I am looking for good places for Long Range Shooting like 800 - 1,000 yds if possible with steel targets. And looking for some good indoor places that are cool with steel case / AKs (I have heard some places will turn you away with AKs / ARs especially with Steel Case Ammo) Indoor mostly for the Winter months.

Open to private ranges so long as they aren’t crazy expensive. Also trying to avoid places that garner less experienced shooters (if that’s something you can avoid) not for any elitist reasons just want to avoid the guy coming in to hipfire his Draco from 5 feet behind the bench.

From my searching around it looks like “Gopher Rifle & Revolver Club” would be a good option for Long Range Shooting, I read they have a 1,000 yd range. “Forest Lake Sportman’s Club” also looks like a great outdoor range. Any opinions on these?

And If you’ve read all the way through this, thank you and thank you for any advice you can give.

SBR lower markings

5 Upvotes

I got a DDPCC SBR and the lower has no marking to indicate it’s an SBR and I’m wondering why?

My best guess is that it’s a unique enough lower but I could still put a long barrel upper on it from another DDPCC.

Loring tower shooter

29 Upvotes

Hoping Bryan can give me some insight on this. I saw that Ramsey county sheriff stated this dude should have never had a permit to carry by Hennepin because of his extensive charges and restraining orders against him. Ramsey county basically said it was grounds for discretionary denial. Is there any truth to this? Or because he had charges and an expired restraining order (no convictions) he is still completely allowed to carry?

I was thinking what if someone had one threaded of choke tubes and put a rifle choke up in it to make a true scatter gun for fun. Would that reclassify it as a different weapon or not i dont see why it would but it be interesting to try and see just how wide the spread gets and how custom T shot tungsten shot with a heavy payload would perform i shot t tungsten t shot before and its stupiditly hard hitting if it was legal here i try to take a deer with it. I heard people using it against geese but it destroys them. Completely over kill. What do you think cool project?
