Private sale. Did I mess up?

[American Capitalist]

So I sold a firearm considered an "assault weapon" under MN law to another person today. Little did I realize according to state law I was supposed to ask him to show a permit to purchase before selling. He said he already owns multiple ARs and I'm not terribly concerned. Say he doesn't have a permit to purchase, how deep of **** am I in?

Ask an attorney if you are concerned. Not a public forum IMHO

Yes, you have just committed a misdemeanor. All private sales in MN are to be reported to the local authority sheriff/chief of police. Unless transferee shows current driver license and PTP or PTC.

Citation for that?

You don't need to do anything other than know he's a MN resident. As long as you don't suspect he's prohibited from owning firearms, you're good.

MN statutes 624.7132 Sorry it's a gross misdemeanor. you can probably plead it down:)

I am pretty sure someone registered an alternate account to mess with the guy. My bet is on XDM45 because he has shown a willingness to do it in the past. viewtopic.php?f=52&t=38992&p=425484#p425484

You should probably read subdivision 12 exclusion (1).

Yea, XDM45 has at least 5 known accounts.

Apparently for some it is.

You people better read the exclusions carefully!
Subd. 1f.Gross misdemeanor; transferring firearm without background check.

A person, other than a federally licensed firearms dealer, who transfers a pistol or semiautomatic military-style assault weapon to another without complying with the transfer requirements of section 624.7132, is guilty of a gross misdemeanor if the transferee possesses or uses the weapon within one year after the transfer in furtherance of a felony crime of violence, and if:

(1) the transferee was prohibited from possessing the weapon under section 624.713 at the time of the transfer; or

(2) it was reasonably foreseeable at the time of the transfer that the transferee was likely to use or possess the weapon in furtherance of a felony crime of violence.
