Why MN is not as cool as WI

[vit]

Picked up a new rifle today and didn't have to show any "permits".

I'd say that pretty much says MN sucks!

Doesn't take much to get the purchase permit but your point is valid. To get a handgun or "assault weapon" retail here you need one. WI will probably vote the right way in the election too while this state the only one that voted for mondale won't.....Of course we have a regular system of cheating, Franken and Dayton both lost but miraculously "won".

Hey Vit, how's WI on full auto, silencers, SBR's? We can't have anything but C+R full auto, no silencers, and can have SBR's.

Try living in Illinois. No concealed carry at all, and now Cook county (Chicago) wants a 25% tax on all firearms and a tax of a nickle a bullet. A Winchester 555 box of .22 LR will more than double in price. I'm just glad I don't live in Cook county.

SBR's are good to go, silencers are good to go, full auto got a bit confusing recently - somebody did some "interpreting" and now even trusts need a CLEO sign off. No magazine limitations even for hunting.
Unfortunately, the CCW law did not do away with the 48 hour wait on handguns. But then again most of my purchases are FTF.

I'm glad I live in SD. No permits to purchase, our 48 hr waiting period went away a couple of years ago, and NFA is a breeze here. They even just started allowing suppressors for hunting. Of course we're limited to 5 rds in our CF rifles/pistols when hunting but hey. That too can be changed.

Oh, and our CCW permit? $10 and a quick questionairre at the local SO. 1-2 weeks later, viola, a valid SD carry permit.

I'll tell you what hazmat, I've been delivering to Sioux falls and Pierre on my current bid, the rolling hills once you cross the Missouri river sure look sweet on I90!!!!! The freedom sure sounds nice too!

Better than MN for sure. My Sheriff's dept is fine, I have a C+R MG, but you need a manufacturers license to slip through the "loophole" to own non-C+R full auto. Silencers are a nono unless you are grandfathered in. SBR's are okay. Sounds like SD is the place to be in the upper midwest! (Well except their version of plowing the highways means flashing road closed signs and salt means throwing a handfull of sand)....LOL
