Changes To Concealed Weapon License Laws

Changes to North Dakota’s concealed weapon license laws take effect Saturday.

One of the major changes is that the attorney general’s office can now explain why an applicant was denied a concealed weapon license.

No license is required to carry a Taser that only delivers a single application of voltage.

Firearms are now allowed in rest areas on public highways.

From the office of the Attorney General:

• No license is required to carry a Taser™ that only delivers a single application of voltage, provided the individual is not otherwise prohibited from possessing a firearm.

• Firearms are prohibited from publicly owned property, however, a new provision in law allows firearms in rest areas on public highways.

• Gun dealers no longer have to submit an extra copy of federal forms to the BCI when they make certain firearms sales.

Detailed information about new weapons and concealed weapon laws, how to apply for a concealed weapon license, and reciprocity with other states is available on the Concealed Weapon License page at www.ag.nd.gov.
