MN Supreme Court: MN Law Only Criminalizes Lack of Firearm Serial Number When US Law Does

On February 14, 2022, Logan Hunter Vagle had a rollover accident near the intersection of Interstate 94 and Highway 65 in Fridley, Minnesota.

When a Minnesota State Trooper arrived and investigated the accident, Vagle admitted he had a pistol in the vehicle. The pistol was a homemade version of the Glock 19, which Vagle had assembled himself. Vagle is now listed as 24 years old, so he may have been less than 21 years old in 2022. Vagle does not appear to have any criminal history.  Logan Hunter Vagle has a youtube channel, but we have not verified if the owner of the channel is the same person named in the court cases. It appears likely that the young man on the YouTube channel is the same Logan Hunter Vagle.

After the accident, Vagle was charged with two crimes, carrying a pistol without a permit, and possessing a pistol without a serial number.

Carrying a pistol without a permit is a misdemeanor in Minnesota. Possessing a firearm without a “valid” serial number could be interpreted as a felony, according to Minnesota statute.

The local court dismissed the serial number charge on the grounds the statute was vague as applied.  The far-left Attorney General in Minnesota, Keith Ellison, appealed the decision to a Minnesota Appeals court. The appeals court reversed the district court decision. The Minnesota Supreme Court agreed to take up the case.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

Watch the Minnesota left attempt to pass a new law requiring people to apply for a state issued serial number before making a gun.

“a homemade version of the Glock 19.”
I didn’t know that was even a thing. Cool.

I would guess it was made with an 80% receiver kit.

MN?

Mom was from there. Her ancestors were Republicans. They immigrated to USA from Finland (they were Swede’s).

MN is totally lost most of the time. Once Socialists corrupt a place, it is very hard to ever come back from the edge of the abyss.

Interesting. I will have to forward this to my friend who is all about 3D printing firearms. I usually only partly listen when he expounds on the subject. I should probably familiarize myself with it.
