One more time. Alex J. Pretti specifically chose to carry a legal pistol without identification and his Concealed Carry license.
That is illegal.
FYI...:
It is illegal to carry a handgun in public without both your physical permit and a valid government-issued photo ID.
- Mandatory Documents: While carrying a pistol, you must have your Permit to Carry (often called a CCL or PCP) and a valid driver’s license or state ID in your immediate possession at all times.
- Lawful Demand: You are legally required to display both the permit and ID upon the lawful demand of a peace officer.
- Duty to Disclose: If a peace officer asks, you must truthfully disclose whether you are currently carrying a firearm.
Resisting Police Authority
It is
illegal to resist or obstruct a peace officer in the performance of their official duties.
- Obstruction of Legal Process: Under Minnesota Statute § 609.50, intentionally obstructing, resisting, or interfering with an officer is a crime.
- Forms of Resistance: This includes physically struggling, refusing to be handcuffed, or running away (fleeing on foot or in a vehicle).
- Severity: Penalties range from a misdemeanor to a felony, especially if the resistance creates a risk of death or bodily harm to others.
