Minnesota Gun Rights Lawyer & Weapons Charges Attorney

Minnesota has various statutes punishing the possession of a firearm or other weapon. These can be simple possession or carrying of a firearm without the proper permit, or, in conjunction with another offense, such as possession or dealing of drugs, use in connection with an assault, or in a robbery, etc. Possession of a firearm in connection with another offense will likely make the potential punishment much more serious, such as a mandatory minimum time in prison, or, a more lengthy prison sentence. Lynne Torgerson, a lawyer with 20 years experience, can represent you in such cases.

A number of states in the U.S., as well as the federal government, have restricted and regulated gun ownership to a great extent. Conversely, more than half of the households in America own guns. The gun rights statutes in the state of Minnesota presents the individuals with the right to carry a gun or pistol in public places, provided they have the ‘permit to carry’ license. However, there are some exceptions to this rule, and these exceptions are posed by public places with sign boards which suggest prohibition of weapons and guns in that area. In a number of counties such as Hennepin, churches have the right to ban weapons and firearms from entering their premises which includes areas such as church parking lots.

Conviction of a criminal charge in the state of Minnesota can lead to very serious consequences, one of which is the loss of your constitutional rights such as right to vote and right to carry a concealed weapon. The Federal Gun Laws very clearly state that any individual who is convicted for crimes which led to imprisonment of one year or more, has no right to own, accept, sale, ship or transport weapons and ammunitions. A federal lifetime ban on the possession of a firearm can also follow a conviction for a misdemeanor domestic assault. There are also state law bans on possession of a firearm following a conviction of misdemeanor domestic assault, as well as other crimes, such as felonies. The primary way to lose your right to possess a firearm, under state and federal law, is a misdemeanor conviction of domestic assault, and/or, conviction of a felony.

In criminal law, weapons and guns come up in numerous different contexts. While one could be charged with a criminal offense for ‘regulation of gun rights’, and, possession of weapons and guns could lead to more dire consequences in the case of crimes such as theft and burglary. A criminal conviction or a civil court order leading to the loss of civil and property rights can also lead to the loss of gun rights.
