HF 372 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Restrictions on discharging firearms near livestock corrals modified.

This bill modifies Minnesota's existing law restricting firearm discharge near livestock corrals. It clarifies that the 500-foot rule does not apply to hunters during established seasons on state or local government land (excluding road rights-of-way) or to landowners shooting on their own property or land owned by an immediate family member. The change specifically exempts normal hunting activities and personal land use from the restriction. This directly affects livestock owners, hunters, and landowners by adjusting when firearm use near corrals is permitted.
