Kristi Noem: It Is ‘Breaking the Law’ in Minnesota to ‘Conceal Carry Without an ID on You’
Breitbart ^ | January 25, 2026 | AWR Hawkins

Posted on 01/25/2026 4:41:59 PM PST by Morgana

During an appearance on FOX News’s The Sunday Briefing this week, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem stressed that concealed carry in Minnesota is illegal “without an ID on you.”

Her statement came after host Peter Doocy pointed out that the armed man who was shot and killed by a federal agent Saturday in Minneapolis “was legally a concealed carry permit holder.”

Doocy then asked, “Is your message to people who [have] concealed carry permits, that if they’re going to go to a protest, they should leave their gun in the car?”

Noem responded, “No, my message to individuals is don’t go impede law enforcement operations. That’s not legal, you’re breaking the law when you do that.”

She added, “It’s also breaking the law in Minnesota when you conceal carry without an ID on you.”

On Saturday, DHS noted that the man who was shot by a federal agent was carrying a 9mm handgun with “2 magazines and no ID.”

Minnesota’s carry law statute says, “The holder of a permit to carry must have the permit card and a driver’s license, state identification card, or other government-issued photo identification in immediate possession at all times when carrying a pistol and must display the permit card and identification document upon lawful demand by a peace officer, as defined in section 626.84, subdivision 1. ”

Why? It is a good idea.

It's the Bill of Rights, not the Bill of Good Ideas.

There should be no such law on the books for him to be "breaking".

Not a big fan of reality, I take it?

When you don’t follow your state’s law, you’re not lawfully carrying.

The entire concept of "lawfully carrying" is repugnant to the Constitution.

There is no restriction on the inalienable right to keep and bear arms.

Reality?

The reality is that unconstitional laws are taken off the books all the time.

"What should be" and "what is" are two different things.

You didn't get the memo?

Looks like you have some work to do to achieve "what should be."

Go get 'em, Tiger!

Yeah, when you have nothing, start with the Ad Hominem attacks.

Really?

"Not a big fan of reality, I take it?"

"What's stopping you from doing it?"

"Looks like you have some work to do to achieve "what should be.""

Looks like a lot of work has been done and will continue. The reality is that states have removed unconstitutional laws against carrying firearms and now Minnesota's unconstitutional law is in the spotlight.

Those are "ad hominem attacks?"

You must be an extraordinarily precious snowflake.

People keep bringing up that Pretti (allegedly) didn’t have his ID and permit with him.

Where exactly did the officers ask for Mr. Pretti’s ID or permit? Not in any video I saw.

How would they know he didn’t have his ID or permit if they didn’t ask, before they took his gun and shot him in the back?

IF Pretti and Good had obeyed the law and not confronted the Federal officers, the former with a pistol and the latter with a moving SUV, they would be alive today. They were possibly Antifa members, and their intent was to thwart Federal officers performing a Constitutional and just duty of enforcing the immigration laws of this country.

We are dealing with layers of subversives from the low level street types like Pretti and Good to the state and local officials who do not support ICE, to the Democrats (and RINOs and libertarians) who support and encourage the sabotage of the laws of the land, to Clinton/Obama/Biden judges (and some Bush appointees) who tie the hands of this Administration, and finally to those foundations like the Soros related entities, the Gates Foundation, and the Ford and Rockefeller Foundations who fund this subversion.

My only criticism of the Trump Administration is that they need to provide military support where state and local officials fail to support ICE. Had there been the level of response that occurred in the school integration period, the communists would not have challenged the actions of the Federal LEOs. Pretti and Good would likely still be alive today.

Interesting take by Noem to give a $hit about state law. The feds aren’t there to enforce or care about MN state law. Don’t lose the plot of the operation Noem.

In CT it’s a misdemeanor. I don’t know about MN.

Sign. Please stop your propaganda.

The U.S. Federal Bill of Rights did NOT overturn every Bill of Rights contained within each individual state Constitution.

Nowhere in the writings of George Mason will you ever find pride in the fact that the Virginia Bill of Rights, which he authored, was abolished in 1791.

It.

Did.

Not.

Happen.

So stop. You're clowning yourself.

Grok says, “In Minnesota, carrying a firearm without your identification while you have a valid permit is a petty misdemeanor.”

Should people be able to vote without identification?

There are lots of reasons for having identification. This is a silly hill to go to war over.
