Having a gun in Minnesota isn't an issue. It isn't like California or New Jersey. Transporting a gun is a bit stringent though. You'll have to have your gun cased and unloaded, and probably in the trunk. It sucks, but that's the way it is.

Make sure there is no ammo inside the gun case.
And yes, in rearmost compartment |

97B.045 TRANSPORTING FIREARMS.
§Subdivision 1.Restrictions. A person may not transport a firearm in a motor vehicle unless the firearm is: (1) unloaded and in a gun case expressly made to contain a firearm, and the case fully encloses the firearm by being zipped, snapped, buckled, tied, or otherwise fastened, and without any portion of the firearm exposed; (2) unloaded and in the closed trunk of a motor vehicle; or (3) a handgun carried in compliance with sections 624.714 and 624.715. It can be cased in the glovebox, unloaded. I don't understand how people think you can't have a cased and unloaded firearm in your vehicle. It goes in the closed trunk if its not cased there by securing it. |

There's also nothing I'm aware of in statute that says anything about ammo inside the gun case. It doesn't matter so long as there's no ammo in the gun.

They also told me you can't carry a long gun with a PTC in public, which is in DIRECT conflict with the plain wording of the statute. Basically, they will likely arrest/charge you and let you fight it in court. That may be your fetish, but I choose to just avoid it. |

It's also in direct conflict with what Minnesota Gun Owners says. https://www.gunowners.mn/long_guns_carrying. But as they say, just try it around town and you can test the response times of the local PD departments. They also recommend keeping the ammunition in a seperate case from the firearm. A seperate case could mean a seperatement compartments, as different carry instructors have suggested. And yes, this stuff is more complicated than it should be. |

I have a zippered gun rug for a handgun. I will have it zippered in the glove box, ammo in the center console. I assume a loaded magazine is okay to carry ammo in? |

Quote HistoryQuoted: As has been stated previously, it must be carried in the rear most portion of the vehicle. Glove box is a no-no. Statute? |

Well, went and came back. No interaction with LE (although just after crossing into Minnesota from Iowa, a state trooper hung a U-turn and got behind me for a bit before passing). Things of notice:
1) Interesting that crossing into Minnesota from Iowa (on 64? I think), there was no Welcome to Minnesota. There was a welcome to every small town in Minnesota but no welcome to the state. 2) Minnesota sells liquor everywhere (even mini marts) 3) "Minnesota nice," is true (very, very nice people). 4) It was FREAKING 70 oF for the HIGH of the day (our lows are not that low--mostly mid to upper 70s overnight) 5) Lots of beefy women, even news anchors--not used to seeing that. Otherwise trip did not produce results intended  , but you have a very nice state.Thanks all for info |

I'm guessing 63 (unless you managed to accomplish a geographic oddity and enter Minnesota from Iowa from the east  ), which isn't really a major artery.2) Minnesota sells liquor everywhere (even mini marts) Are you sure you made it in to Minnesota? We're the only state that still requires 3.2 beer for sales outside of liquor stores... 3) "Minnesota nice," is true (very, very nice people). 4) It was FREAKING 70 oF for the HIGH of the day (our lows are not that low--mostly mid to upper 70s overnight) 5) Lots of beefy women, even news anchors--not used to seeing that. It gets cold here Glad you had a mostly pleasant, if unsuccessful, trip
