Minnesota’s new law strengthens enforcement of firearm surrender in domestic violence cases

Minnesota implemented a new law (HF 4075) effective August 1 to standardize firearm surrender for individuals prohibited from possessing guns, such as those under qualifying court orders or certain criminal convictions. The law establishes a 10-day deadline for surrendering firearms to law enforcement, licensed dealers, or third parties and mandates compliance hearings if proof of transfer is not filed, aiming to address inconsistent enforcement across counties.
