Where to shoot? Rifle/Pistol Ranges MSP Metro Area

I will be moving to a suburb of msp shortly and i am trying to find the a few Ranges to shoot at. An absolute need is at least 300 yds for a rifle set up. I do a lot of distance/prs shooting and it seems like that's going to be a challenge to continue practicing for that unless I shoot up to new york mills.

(I come from the land of flat, where all we have is outdoor flat Ranges up to a mile. RIP the mile ranges)

Suppressor transfers

Does anyone know if any local shops are doing suppressor transfers without the NFA steps per recent legal events?

I sounds like it is legal if purchased from the plaintiffs (PSA, Silencer Co, Silencer Shop) but would need to be transferred via 4473 still. I'm wondering if any local places have agreed to do the transfer yet.

Recent Court Decisions: Suppressors, SBRs, SBSs, and more

Hi all, as many of you know there's a recent court decision out of the Northern District of Texas that invalidated portions of the National Firearms Act. The US DOJ chose NOT to appeal this case, so the judge's decision stands for now.

The case is Jensen v. ATF and was brought by PSA, Silencer Shop, CCRKBA, FPC, the Second Amendment Foundation and others.

You can learn more about the case here: https://saf.org/cases/jensen-v-atf/

We do not have definitive guidance on this yet. We're discussing internally and with out national partners, but important to know a few things.

1). We can't give anyone or businesses/FFLs legal advice. You/they would need to chat with counsel about this.

2). It's probably prudent to wait a bit, let ATF & others issue specific guidance to FFLs on how to handle this.

3). MN law has no specific restrictions on Suppressors or SBRs other than "comply with federal law". SBSs are prohibited under state statute.

So I'd advise some patience and let things play out over the next few days or weeks.

I'll share more when we have a better update.

SO... Suppressors and SBRs?

What are everyone's thoughts seeing as the ruling in Texas wasn't appealed and Brandon Herrera and the GOA went ahead with their 4473 suppressor transfers. Plaintiffs PSA, SilencerCo, and GOA and their customers/members are protected from the ATF's enforcement of the $0 tax.

Has anyone spoken with legal about it and has anyone heard from stores that'll follow suit?

Gun Classes for Permit

Hi! We’ve been putting it off for awhile as we moved from MI last year where we both had our conceal carry permits. Last week me and German Shepherd were almost attacked by two dogs while out for a walk. While I wouldn’t use a firearm as my first way five ways of protecting my pup and myself, I did regret not having it as an option when all was said and done. The whole thing reignited the want and need to get my permit here in MN. My husband will happily join me too as he’s been putting it off too.

So that said, I’m hoping to find some local classes in the iron range that would ideally be on weekends. We work full-time so weekday classes are difficult to make work. Any recommendations on decent teachers in the area would be nice! Thanks!

Another Turknelli has hit my safe XD

Bought another MAC 1014 after giving the last one I got to my brother for his birthday, just got mine in for MY birthday today! Decided to get the traditional stock version instead of the pistol grip stock this time. Feels much more balanced to me and shorter overall, which I like. The LOP is just about right for my arm length and being 6'0" tall.

Started with 50 rounds of #00 buckshot to get it hot, then moved to 150 rounds of Winchester #8 @ 1180FPS. Everything cycled and ran smooth except one shell of Winchester. Felt a little underpowered when it fired and didn't fully cycle the action. Yanked it out, cycled the gun and it kept running along.

Is any paperwork needed for a gifted rifle?

My friend is moving away and wants to give me his family’s old .22 rifle. I do have a Permit to Carry, but I just wanted to verify from my Google search that no paperwork is necessary?

Edit: It’s just a regular rifle, non-semi auto.
