Eligibility is fact-specific
Minnesota Statutes section 624.713 lists categories of people who may not possess certain firearms or ammunition. The analysis can depend on the offense, disposition, relationship, order, and whether state or federal law also applies.
Do not rely on an old discharge, expungement, pardon, or another person's opinion. Obtain a current legal review before taking possession or attempting a transfer.
Restoration is not automatic
Section 609.165 addresses restoration of civil rights and a judicial process for some crime-of-violence firearm disabilities. Section 624.713 contains a separate restoration process for certain civil-commitment disabilities. These paths have different requirements and do not cover every prohibition.
A petition requires accurate records and a court that can hear the matter. Filing a petition is not permission to possess while the prohibition remains in effect.
Local court context
