ATF: Minnesota permit to carry now satisfies background check for buying guns

Minnesota residents with a permit to carry may now purchase a firearm from a licensed dealer without the normally required background check, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives announced Friday.

The ATF has determined that the state’s requirement for getting a permit to carry complies with the background check requirements under federal law for purchasing a firearm.

Any carry permits with expiration dates of Aug. 1, 2019, or later now qualify as alternatives to usual the FBI instant background checks.

Yes, if you do not have a permit to carry.

Hmmm... MN Residents only. If this is a federal ATF ruling then why won't my MN purchase be adequate to purchase in my home state of WI? the non-resident permit has the same requirements.

I hope this spreads to more states, specifically mine Big Grin

The law takes place for permit holders in 2019 for permits ending in the year 2019. My permit needs renewal in 2018. I need to want for 1.5 years before I can do this. This is good for me.
