Was just wondering what the legalities were of carrying a handgun, unloaded, in a case, on your person, while walking around in St Paul Minnesota. (in particular, in a fanny pack with the amunition in a separate pocket of same said fanny pack, or in pants pocket. The fanny pack clipped on.)
I believe this would be completely legal, with or without a CCW permit. But I would like to know for sure.
Also, would there be 'extra hassles' to deal with if you were forced to use said handgun? IE- would just uncaseing/loading/and or firing it be a violation of the law, provided you were in fear for your life/safety at the time?
My neighborhood is getting ugly. Minnesota has "shall issue" CCW regulations, but I have not had time to get the classes yet and I prefer to be protected NOW. At the same time, I don't want to be in violation of the law, especially if I were forced to use it... either by drawing or firing....
Can anyone direct me to the laws (local, federal, and or state) that would govern this.... and give me a synapse of what the jargon really means?
Thanks
