Domestic violence crimes carry a number of collateral consequences that many people may not be aware of. In Minnesota, if you’ve been charged with a certain type of crime, such as a domestic violence offense, you risk losing your Second Amendment right to possess a firearm if you’re ultimately found guilty of the charged crime or, in some cases, a less serious variation of the crime. This loss of rights includes losing the right to own or possess firearms at any time – even for hunting.
