Minnesota HF1601 allows local governments to ban or restrict dangerous weapons, ammunition, or explosives on their property.

Minnesota HF1601 amends state law to allow local governments to prohibit or restrict the possession of dangerous weapons, ammunition, or explosives in buildings or on land they own or lease. The elected governing body of a local governmental unit can make these restrictions, except for licensed peace officers or military personnel performing official duties, and those with express consent from the chief law enforcement officer or governing body. Signs must be posted to indicate these restrictions, with specific requirements for their size and placement. Violators face misdemeanor charges.
