    Everywhere is different, but:

    Whoever carries a BB gun, rifle, or shotgun on or about the person in a public place is guilty of a gross misdemeanor. A person under the age of 21 who carries a semiautomatic military-style assault weapon on or about their person in public place is guilty of a felony. However, one may carry a pistol or a long gun openly with permit to carry a pistol because, the law states that the prohibition on carrying does not include the carrying of a BB gun, rifle, or shotgun by a person who has a permit under section 624.714.

    In Minnesota it’s illegal to open carry a rifle, but only if you don’t have a pistol carry permit. If you have a pistol carry permit, you can open carry a rifle because the rifle law isn’t talking about people with pistol permits apparently.

    It takes a form, up to 30 days to process, and lasts 5 years. And they can’t even deny you for smoking weed:
