Antiques
Antiques are not addressed in North Dakota law and therefore are treated as any other firearm.
Miscellaneous Provisions
- No political subdivision, including home rule cities or counties,
may enact any ordinance relating to the purchase, sale, ownership, transfer,
registration, or licensure of firearms and ammunition which is more
restrictive than state law.
- A firearms manufacturer, distributor, or seller who lawfully transfers
a firearm is not liable to a person or to the estate, a successor, or survivor
of any person for any injury suffered, including wrongful death and
property damage, because of the use of a firearm by another.
- A firearm may not be deemed defective on the basis of its potential to cause serious
injury, damage, or death when discharged.
- It is unlawful to discharge a firearm within a city, with the exception
of the lawful discharge of firearms by law enforcement officers, by
citizens in defense of person or property, or by participants in lawful
activities in which discharge of firearms is a recognized part of the activity
including but not limited to shooting galleries and ranges.
- It is unlawful for any parent, guardian, or other person having charge
or custody of a minor under fifteen years of age to permit that minor to
carry or use in public any loaded firearm, except when the minor is under
the direct supervision of the parent or guardian.
- It is lawful for a person residing in the state, including a corporation
or other business entity maintaining a place of business, to purchase or
otherwise obtain a rifle or shotgun from a federally licensed gun dealer
in a contiguous state and to receive or transport that rifle or shotgun into
this state.
- No person may change, alter, remove, or obliterate any mark of identification on a handgun or knowingly possess a handgun on which such alterations have been made. Possession of such a handgun creates a rebuttable presumption that the possessor made the alterations.
