This Minnesota legislative bill amends existing rules about using firearms near places where livestock are kept. It specifies that you cannot fire a gun within 500 feet of any building housing people or livestock, or near livestock corrals, without permission from the owner or occupant. The rule clarifies exceptions for hunters on public or state-owned land (not including roadways) and for individuals shooting on their own land or that of immediate family. The bill also defines a corral or stockade as an enclosure for livestock that is no bigger than one acre. Additionally, it reaffirms that hunting is not allowed on land where access is prohibited by this law.
