This Minnesota House bill (H.F. No. 1283) proposes an amendment to Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 624.714, regarding firearm permits for veterans. The bill states that honorably discharged veterans, as defined in section 197.447, would be permitted to carry a pistol without needing to obtain a separate permit to carry.

Instead, the veteran's military discharge papers (DD214 form) would serve as the legal equivalent of a permit to carry. The veteran must carry either the original or a certified copy of their DD214 while possessing a firearm.

Under this bill:
- No application, fees, or training certification would be required for veterans to carry a firearm.
- All other existing laws and regulations regarding firearm carry would continue to apply.

The bill was introduced by Representatives Warwas and Davis and was referred to the Committee on Public Safety Finance and Policy for further consideration.
