ccw intoxicated on private property

[Sherry]

Leave the gun out of the equation,
is it legal to be on private property with a BAC of .10 to .08... Only if the property is yours or you have a right to be on it
is it legal to ride a 4-wheeler on private property with a BAC of .10 to .08 or higher....... Yes

Hell you can drive a car without a license, while shooting at targets, completely drunk on private property if there isn't an ordinance prohibiting the discharge of firearms in your area.

This is very good news for me. Thank you and bless your hearts.

Thanks guys, thanks.

You have to keep in mind there are impressionable mind(s) around here now.

Anything involving beer, vehicles, guns, or power/hand tools is expressly forbidden.

Are you sure about this? I'm not sure but I always thought the law said it is illegal to operate a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol in the state of MN. I didn't think it gave exemptions for private land. But again, I'm not sure.

This is all I could find...

Can't operate a motor vehicle ANYWHERE in MN while intoxicated. Sorry.

And then there's this: MN STATUTE 609.99

Subd. 1a.Felony crimes; silencers prohibited; reckless discharge.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in subdivision 1h, whoever does any of the following is guilty of a felony and may be sentenced as provided in paragraph (b):

(1) sells or has in possession any device designed to silence or muffle the discharge of a firearm;

(2) intentionally discharges a firearm under circumstances that endanger the safety of another; or

I would make the argument that the level of intoxication could rise to recklessness. That, of course, would be for the county attorney to decide.

Do you know if there is a penalty for failing to submit to a BAC test? I know there is if you carry with a permit or if you are driving but what about shooting?

IIRC, failure to submit to a BAC test results in an automatic DUI charge.

Interesting, apparently the folks at the Minnesota Highway Safety Center are immune to that law.

If you don't have a permit, I don't think you're obligated to submit to a test.

Persons have been convicted of DUI for mowing their lawn drunk.....

Private property has no relevance.

I beleive the only place you can "drive" drunk, and be legal, is at the State Patrols test grounds near St. Cloud. Ans of couse only in supervised studies. It might be possible that federal installations could also conduct drunk driving tests as well, possibly military too.

How does state law exclude those areas? I would argue that private property has great relevance, especially if you have an expectation of privacy on it. People have also been convicted of murders they didn't commit.

IANAL but if my recollection holds true Implied Consent refers to the holder of a drivers license who has implied his/her consent to a sobriety test by the action of driving on a public road. I don't believe implied consent applies to private property and I am almost certain it does not apply if the driver does not have a license and is driving on private property. Having said that, by reading previous posts it appears that driving intoxicated on private property is still not legal and in any circumstance common sense dictates that it is stupid.
