     624.7141 Transfer to ineligible person. 

    Subdivision 1.    Transfer prohibited.  A person is 
 guilty of a gross misdemeanor who intentionally transfers a 
 pistol or semiautomatic military-style assault weapon to another 
 if the person knows that the transferee: 

    (1) has been denied a permit to carry under section 624.714 
 because the transferee is not eligible under section 624.713 to 
 possess a pistol or semiautomatic military-style assault weapon; 

    (2) has been found ineligible to possess a pistol or 
 semiautomatic military-style assault weapon by a chief of police 
 or sheriff as a result of an application for a transferee permit 
 or a transfer report; or 

    (3) is disqualified under section 624.713 from possessing a 
 pistol or semiautomatic military-style assault weapon. 

    Subd. 2.    Felony.  A violation of this section is a 
 felony if the transferee possesses or uses the weapon within one 
 year after the transfer in furtherance of a felony crime of 
 violence. 

    Subd. 3.    Subsequent eligibility.  This section is not 
 applicable to a transfer to a person who became eligible to 
 possess a pistol or semiautomatic military-style assault weapon 
 under section 624.713 after the transfer occurred but before the 
 transferee used or possessed the weapon in furtherance of any 
 crime.
