Thanks rotty! It's at http://www.carryforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=16245&p=182256#p182256 if anyone want to see the responses (if any :)). I also asked opinions just because the response from the sheriff seems to defeat the purpose of MN statute 609.66 Subd 1g (b)(2) and the exclusivity clause in MN statute 624.714 Subd 23, but I'm no lawyer so what do I know.

Definitely not the response I expected. And I am no lawyer either but something about this after looking up the cited sections and rules smells fishy. If I was a lawyer I certainly would have to question the legality of that judges order.

I thought I would post copies of what I received today. I did leave out the last line on the letter from the sheriff in the original post.

Sorry you will have to rotate the one letter .. it was scanned upside down.

You can do that in acrobat reader by going to file, rotate

Yeah, I would think that MN statute 609.66 Subd 1g (b)(2) trumps MN statute 609.66 Subd 1g (b)(3) and (b)(4).
