Is it legal to carry a weapon/sword/knife/taser/nunchuck?
Minnesota Statutes online (https://www.revisor.leg.state.mn.us/pubs/) has an index heading for Weapons. Many individual weapons are listed here, although not always by their common names. Among the sections of the statutes that it may also be useful to look at is 609.66, Dangerous Weapons, from the criminal code. To check for local city or county ordinances, see our directory of ordinances on the Web at http://www.lawlibrary.state.mn.us/ordinance.html or your local public library or city hall. For questions of interpretation, it may be helpful to speak with your local police department or law enforcement agency. Finally, if you are attending a costume event, it would be wise to check with the planners for any weapons policies. [Return to Top of Page] • Where can I find court opinions online for free?
