HF 5091 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Process of firearm purchase by peace officers modified.

This bill modifies the process for actively licensed peace officers in Minnesota to purchase firearms. Instead of a standard permit, officers may present their official badge or government identification along with photo ID to prove employment. The law treats this identification as equivalent to the permit typically required for civilian firearm purchases. This policy change applies only to officers currently employed within the state.
