1998 Minnesota Statutes

     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.  A person may obtain a hunting license if the 
 person has a firearms safety certificate or equivalent 
 certificate, previous hunting license, or other evidence 
 indicating that the person has completed in this state or in 
 another state a hunter safety course recognized by the 
 department under a reciprocity agreement.  A person who is on 
 active duty and has successfully completed basic training in the 
 United States armed forces, reserve component, or national guard 
 may obtain a hunting license or approval authorizing hunting 
 regardless of whether the person is issued a firearms safety 
 certificate.
