This bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 624.7192, to prohibit the closure of shooting ranges during a state of emergency. It reinforces restrictions on governmental authority regarding firearms, ammunition, and related accessories during emergencies. Specifically, it prohibits official actions that limit lawful possession, carrying, transportation, and use of firearms and ammunition. It also prevents the closure or restriction of gun ranges unless similar limitations apply to all businesses. Additionally, individuals affected by violations of this law may seek legal redress, including damages and injunctive relief, with courts required to award attorney fees to prevailing plaintiffs.
