My friend, and yes it actually is my friend, roommate to be precise. I go to school up in Bemidji but I'm in the cities now, so I get to hear all this second hand, which is fantastic. Anyways, my friend got pulled over and the officer found an unregistered pistol in his truck. I've searched the interwebs for awhile now and can't find any solid punishment/penalty info. Does anyone know what the minimums/maximums for possession of an unregistered firearm are in Minnesota?

For an uncased handgun in a motor vehicle for a non convicted felon it is a gross misdemeanor. 90-days to a year.

For a convicted felon five years.

Stolen handgun is again a felony and not good.

you need to clarify. was the gun uncased/loaded? No such thing as an "unregistered pistol".

Sniff sniff. Sniff sniff. My Manure O Matic is going off. Officer "finds" an "unregistered" handgun in his car. What is officer looking for and what is presumed reason for search of auto.

Sniff sniff. There is is......going off again. And all the red lights are blinking! Ha Ha.

Ha Ha... I love the sniff test. I know a few folks that would fail that one, and then may ask to be searched.

Hey guys, sorry about not getting back to you, I actually forget I had made this post lol. I didn't know you didn't have to register a handgun in this state, I know pretty much everything there is to know about fishing, but my hunting/firearm experience is pretty limited unfortunately. As for your other questions, I know he has a case for it, but I have no idea if it was in there or not, or if it was loaded. He's the kind of guy I'd give those odds a 50/50 shot, lol. And he was at a party that the cops shut down, he went to his vehicle to leave, and the cops came over and got him there. Now unfortunately his phone is also dead, so getting details from him are sketchy. He could haver have missed a breathalizer/search or something the cops were doing to all the other party goers, or the cops could have just decided to search his vehicle after letting him leave (I'm assuming if the cops shut down the party and he left it was with their say-so), which I'm pretty sure would be illegal because they already basically said they had no problem cause. Now being completely honest he also may have failed that sniff test, lol.

Thanks for the info on the handgun issue.

      Problems with Yetti

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
