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.
