MN SF2268

Persons may not transfer more than three firearms in a calendar year unless they hold a valid federal firearms dealer license or conduct transfers through a federally licensed dealer.

Individuals transferring more than three firearms annually must deliver the firearm and valid transferee permit to a federally licensed dealer, who retains possession and must comply with federal law.

If a federally licensed dealer cannot legally complete a transfer, the dealer must conduct a background check and either return the firearm to the original transferor or transfer it to local law enforcement within 24 hours if the transferor is prohibited from possessing firearms.

Dealers who deny a transfer must immediately report the proposed transferee's identity and transfer details to local law enforcement.

Dealers may charge a fee not exceeding $5 above actual expenses incurred, and the requirements do not apply to antique firearms, inter-dealer transfers, court-ordered transfers, loans for hunting/target shooting (up to 12 hours), and certain other specified exceptions.
