The Live Question
Whether a non-violent gross misdemeanant under Minn. Stat. § 609.713 subd. 1 is firearms-disabled under Minn. Stat. § 609.13(1) — a records-accuracy and Second Amendment question that the closed permit appeal (A25-0721) did not reach on the merits.
This is presented as the open legal issue now carried by the Minnesota Court of Appeals matter A26-1095. The site does not predict how that question will be resolved.
How the Record Was Corrected
The public Register of Actions and the BCA criminal-history database displayed a single non-violent gross misdemeanor conviction as a felony. On June 24, 2026, the State removed the felony level-of-sentence display from the public Register of Actions. A state legal office then stated in writing that the felony level of sentence "was a system error" with "no errors made by the district court."
Scope note: the June 24, 2026 change removed the public felony display from the Register of Actions. The full scope of any related record correction remains the subject of follow-up with the court and is not represented here as complete.
A25-0721 — the setup, now closed
The earlier civil permit-to-purchase appeal (A25-0721) was resolved on a collateral-attack/channeling ground without a merits ruling on the civil statutory issues, and the Minnesota Supreme Court denied review on April 15, 2026. That closed proceeding is the setting in which the records error first surfaced — not the live vehicle.
