Ok more info than the title, today I had a conversation with a monkey county cop about directives given to them about carry permits/guns. The directive came out via email when bruen first happened. There has been no updates to the directive after the new law went into effect in county.
The directives are if someone is found with a firearm:
-If they have a permit they are supposed to run the gun thru the MSP gun center to confirm the gun is registered to that person ( made it sound like they dont really have to ). Then tell them to have a nice day
-If the person has the gun and no permit and the gun is on them. Run them and the gun thru the Msp gun center. If they are not prohibited and the gun is registered to them, tell them to have a nice day. aka no arresting someone carrying with no permit if they and the gun are legal, he was very surprised by that. ( does not mean do it )
-If the person is prohibited or a ghost gun then they get arrested.
He was asked what to do about carrying a gun not registered to that person, aka a firearm registered to the wife. He stated simply the gun has to be registered to that person.
He stated 1 in 10 they deal with ( not normal people hint hint ) have an illegal gun on them. He said poly 80's are very very popular all with extended mags.
He is going to try to find the email and give me a hard copy, which I will not post here but will send it to Mark. I dont know if this email was targeted to certain areas or the whole countys force. This entire conversation was over heard by @ShafTed , more accurately I called Howard over and the guy repeated it.
