What happened
The Department of Justice filed a lawsuit against the state of Minnesota regarding its waiting period requirements for firearm purchases. The suit challenges the state's system for handguns and certain rifles, which requires applicants to obtain either a Transferee Report or a Permit to Purchase. Under the current system, residents can wait up to 30 days for the required approvals, meaning the total wait time can extend to nearly 60 days.
