     97B.020 Firearms safety certificate required. 

    Except as provided in this section, a person born after 
 December 31, 1979, may not obtain a license to take wild animals 
 by firearms unless the person has a firearms safety certificate 
 or equivalent certificate, driver's license or identification 
 card with a valid firearms safety qualification indicator issued 
 under section 171.07, subdivision 13, previous hunting license, 
 or other evidence indicating that the person has completed in 
 this state or in another state a hunter safety course recognized

 national guard may obtain a hunting license or approval 
 authorizing hunting regardless of whether the person is issued a 
 firearms safety certificate.
