Launchers and Projectile Laws
Are Launchers and Projectiles Legal In Minnesota?
Launchers and Projectiles in MN is Legal.
UNVERIFIED Minnesota's civilian safe harbor for tear gas/OC compounds is expressly limited to devices "propelled from an aerosol container." A compressed-gas launcher does not obviously fit that description, though no statute explicitly bans it either. Whether this device configuration falls inside or outside the safe harbor has not been resolved by any Minnesota case, agency opinion, or other authority we located. This addresses the OC-loaded (chemical-agent) configuration only; the kinetic-only (non-OC) configuration is addressed separately. Statute: Minn. Stat. § 624.731 Official source: https://www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/cite/624.731 This is general information, not legal advice. Laws change. Confirm current requirements with Minnesota authorities or your own counsel before purchasing or carrying.
