9.25 	criminal record within the seven-business-day requirement described in paragraph (a), 
9.26 	the chief of police or sheriff may require the transferee to appear in person to present a

10.1 	threat to the life of the transferee or any member of the transferee's household. Under these 
10.2 	circumstances, the chief or sheriff may issue a transferee permit that expires no more than 
10.3 	48 hours after issuance and that is valid for the transfer of a single pistol or semiautomatic 
10.4 	military-style assault weapon. An emergency transferee permit is not renewable.

11.14 	subdivision 1 unless the chief of police or sheriff waives all or a portion of the seven-day 
11.15 	seven-business-day waiting period. The chief of police or sheriff may waive all or a 
11.16 	portion of the five business day seven-business-day waiting period in writing if the chief

12.2 		Subd. 5.Grounds for disqualification. A determination by (a) The chief of police 
12.3 	or sheriff that shall deny an application if the proposed transferee is prohibited by section 
12.4 	624.713 from possessing a pistol or semiautomatic military-style assault weapon shall be 
12.5 	the sole basis for a notification of disqualification under this section or is determined to be 
12.6 	a danger to self or others under paragraph (b).
12.7 	(b) A chief or sheriff shall deny a permit to a person who is a danger to self or others. 
12.8 	The decision of the chief or sheriff must be based on documented past contact with law

12.10 	and document the specific police contact or contacts relied upon to deny the permit.
12.11 	(c) A person is not eligible to submit a permit application under this section if the 
12.12 	person has had an application denied pursuant to paragraph (b) and less than six months

12.26 		Subd. 7a.Transfer by or to licensed dealers only. (a) No person shall transfer 
12.27 	a pistol or semiautomatic military-style assault weapon unless the transferor or the 
12.28 	transferee is a federally licensed firearms dealer. Where neither party to a prospective 
12.29 	pistol or semiautomatic military-style assault weapon transfer is a federally licensed 
12.30 	firearms dealer, the parties shall complete the transfer through a federally licensed firearms 
12.31 	dealer as follows:
12.32 	(1) the transferor shall deliver the pistol or semiautomatic military-style assault 
12.33 	weapon and a valid transferee permit or report of transfer to a federally licensed firearms 
13.1 	dealer, who shall retain possession of that pistol or semiautomatic military-style assault 
13.2 	weapon until the transaction is completed or as provided in clause (3);
13.3 	(2) the federally licensed dealer shall comply with this section and federal law as 
13.4 	if the dealer had agreed to directly transfer the pistol or semiautomatic military-style 
13.5 	assault weapon to the proposed transferee;
13.6 	(3) if the dealer cannot legally deliver the pistol or semiautomatic military-style 
13.7 	assault weapon to the proposed transferee or otherwise chooses not to complete the

13.9 	and file a report of transfer to transfer the pistol or semiautomatic military-style assault 
13.10 	weapon back to the original transferor. If the original transferor is prohibited by section 
13.11 	624.713 from possessing a pistol or semiautomatic military-style assault weapon, the 
13.12 	dealer shall transfer the firearm to the chief of police or sheriff within 24 hours;
13.13 	(4) a dealer who denies transfer of a pistol or semiautomatic military-style assault 
13.14 	weapon shall immediately report the identity of the proposed transferee and the date, 
13.15 	time, and place of the attempted transfer to the local law enforcement agency where 
13.16 	the dealer is located; and
13.17 	(5) the dealer may require the proposed transferee to pay a fee of no more than $25 
13.18 	when assisting with a transfer under this subdivision.
13.19 	(b) For purposes of this section and section 624.7131, an auctioneer who is licensed

13.21 	an auctioneer, facilitates the sale of a pistol or a semiautomatic military-style assault 
13.22 	weapon, is neither the transferor nor transferee in the sale of the firearm, provided that the 
13.23 	auctioneer does not transfer physical possession of the firearm to the buyer or buyer's agent 
13.24 	or assignee at any time preceding, during, or following the auction other than temporarily 
13.25 	prior to the auctioning of the firearm for the purpose of enabling the prospective buyer to 
13.26 	inspect the characteristics and quality of the firearm. Upon completion of the auctioning 
13.27 	of the firearm, the auctioneer or the auctioneer's agent must physically return the firearm 
13.28 	to the possession of the person who owns the firearm and who is the prospective transferor 
13.29 	of the firearm, or to that person's agent in the auction. The owner who is the prospective 
13.30 	transferor and the prospective transferee who has agreed in the auction to purchase the 
13.31 	firearm must then comply in full with the terms of paragraph (a), if applicable, and with 
13.32 	the provisions of this chapter, chapter 609, and any other state or federal law to complete 
13.33 	the transfer of the firearm.

14.7 	court, involuntary transfers, transfers at death or the following transfers:

14.30 	determination as provided in this subdivision. The district court shall have jurisdiction of 
14.31 	proceedings under this subdivision.
14.32 	On review pursuant to this subdivision, the court shall be limited to a determination 
14.33 	of whether the proposed transferee is a person prohibited from possessing a pistol or 
14.34 	semiautomatic military-style assault weapon by section 624.713.

15.27 	Sec. 20. Minnesota Statutes 2014, section 624.714, subdivision 6, is amended to read:
15.28 		Subd. 6.Granting and denial of permits. (a) The sheriff must, within 30 days 
15.29 	after the date of receipt of the application packet described in subdivision 3:
15.30 	(1) issue the permit to carry;
15.31 	(2) deny the application for a permit to carry solely on the grounds that the applicant 
15.32 	failed to qualify under the criteria described in subdivision 2, paragraph (b); or
15.33 	(3) deny the application on the grounds that there exists a substantial likelihood that 
15.34 	the applicant is a danger to self or the public if authorized to carry a pistol under a permit.
16.1 	(b) Failure of the sheriff to notify the applicant of the denial of the application 
16.2 	within 30 days after the date of receipt of the application packet constitutes issuance of the 
16.3 	permit to carry and the sheriff must promptly fulfill the requirements under paragraph (c). 
16.4 	To deny the application, the sheriff must provide the applicant with written notification 
16.5 	and the specific factual basis justifying the denial under paragraph (a), clause (2) or (3), 
16.6 	including the source of the factual basis. The sheriff must inform the applicant of the 
16.7 	applicant's right to submit, within 20 business days, any additional documentation relating 
16.8 	to the propriety of the denial. Upon receiving any additional documentation, the sheriff 
16.9 	must reconsider the denial and inform the applicant within 15 business days of the result 
16.10 	of the reconsideration. Any denial after reconsideration must be in the same form and 
16.11 	substance as the original denial and must specifically address any continued deficiencies 
16.12 	in light of the additional documentation submitted by the applicant. The applicant must be 
16.13 	informed of the right to seek de novo review of the denial as provided in subdivision 12.
16.14 	(c) Upon issuing a permit to carry, the sheriff must provide a laminated permit 
16.15 	card to the applicant by first class mail unless personal delivery has been made. Within 
16.16 	five business days, the sheriff must submit the information specified in subdivision 7, 
16.17 	paragraph (a), to the commissioner for inclusion solely in the database required under 
16.18 	subdivision 15, paragraph (a). The sheriff must transmit the information in a manner and 
16.19 	format prescribed by the commissioner.
16.20 	(d) Within five business days of learning that a permit to carry has been suspended 
16.21 	or revoked, the sheriff must submit information to the commissioner regarding the 
16.22 	suspension or revocation for inclusion solely in the databases required or permitted under 
16.23 	subdivision 15.
16.24 	(e) Notwithstanding paragraphs (a) and (b), the sheriff may suspend the application 
16.25 	process if a charge is pending against the applicant that, if resulting in conviction, will 
16.26 	prohibit the applicant from possessing a firearm.

16.27 	Sec. 21. Minnesota Statutes 2014, section 624.714, subdivision 8, is amended to read:
16.28 		Subd. 8.Permit to carry voided. (a) The permit to carry is void at the time that the 
16.29 	holder becomes prohibited by law from possessing a firearm, in which event the holder 
16.30 	must return the permit card to the issuing sheriff within five business days after the holder 
16.31 	knows or should know that the holder is a prohibited person. If the sheriff has knowledge 
16.32 	that a permit is void under this paragraph, the sheriff must give notice to the permit holder 
16.33 	in writing in the same manner as a denial. Failure of the holder to return the permit within 
16.34 	the five days is a gross misdemeanor unless the court finds that the circumstances or the 
17.1 	physical or mental condition of the permit holder prevented the holder from complying 
17.2 	with the return requirement.
17.3 	(b) When a permit holder is convicted of an offense that prohibits the permit holder 
17.4 	from possessing a firearm, the court must take possession of the permit, if it is available, 
17.5 	and send it to the issuing sheriff.
17.6 	(c) The sheriff of the county where the application was submitted, or of the county 
17.7 	of the permit holder's current residence, may file a petition with the district court therein, 
17.8 	for an order revoking a permit to carry on the grounds set forth in subdivision 6, paragraph 
17.9 	(a), clause (3). An order shall be issued only if the sheriff meets the burden of proof and 
17.10 	criteria set forth in subdivision 12. If the court denies the petition, the court must award 
17.11 	the permit holder reasonable costs and expenses, including attorney fees.
17.12 	(d) A permit revocation must be promptly reported to the issuing sheriff.

17.13 	Sec. 22. Minnesota Statutes 2014, section 624.714, subdivision 12, is amended to read:
17.14 		Subd. 12.Hearing upon denial or revocation. (a) Any person aggrieved by denial 
17.15 	or revocation of a permit to carry may appeal by petition to the district court having 
17.16 	jurisdiction over the county or municipality where the application was submitted. The 
17.17 	petition must list the sheriff as the respondent. The district court must hold a hearing at 
17.18 	the earliest practicable date and in any event no later than 60 days following the filing of 
17.19 	the petition for review. The court may not grant or deny any relief before the completion 
17.20 	of the hearing. The record of the hearing must be sealed. The matter must be heard de 
17.21 	novo without a jury.
17.22 	(b) The court must issue written findings of fact and conclusions of law regarding 
17.23 	the issues submitted by the parties. The court must issue its writ of mandamus directing 
17.24 	that the permit be issued and order other appropriate relief unless the sheriff establishes 
17.25 	by clear and convincing a preponderance of the  evidence:
17.26 	(1) that the applicant is disqualified under the criteria described in subdivision 2, 
17.27 	paragraph (b); or
17.28 	(2) that there exists a substantial likelihood that the applicant is a danger to self or 
17.29 	the public if authorized to carry a pistol under a permit. Incidents of alleged criminal 
17.30 	misconduct that are not investigated and documented may not be considered.
17.31 	(c) If an applicant is denied a permit on the grounds that the applicant is listed in 
17.32 	the criminal gang investigative data system under section 299C.091, the person may 
17.33 	challenge the denial, after disclosure under court supervision of the reason for that listing, 
17.34 	based on grounds that the person:
17.35 	(1) was erroneously identified as a person in the data system;
18.1 	(2) was improperly included in the data system according to the criteria outlined in 
18.2 	section 299C.091, subdivision 2, paragraph (b); or
18.3 	(3) has demonstrably withdrawn from the activities and associations that led to 
18.4 	inclusion in the data system.
