Chair Novotny Statement on Calls to Repeal State Firearm Preemption Laws
St. Paul, MN — House Public Safety Chair Rep. Paul Novotny (R-Elk River) released the following statement in response to calls to repeal Minnesota’s firearm preemption laws:
“State firearm preemption laws safeguard Minnesotans from a confusing patchwork of local rules that could turn law-abiding citizens into criminals simply for crossing a city or county line. The Second Amendment does not change depending on your zip code, and every law-abiding Minnesotan deserves the same right to protect themselves and their family no matter what city or county they are currently in. Constitutional freedoms shall not be infringed by a county or city government, and I trust the courts would agree.”
