MN FIREARMS SAFETY CLASSES

ALERT: The DNR has modified firearms safety certification requirements on an interim basis as a result of COVID-19. 

New for 2020:
  • Students of all ages may take their classroom training online.
  • Students age 14 and older may also complete a virtual field day instead of the traditional in-person field day by signing up for and completing the online hunter safety course (link is external).
  • Students ages 12 and 13 who want to hunt this fall but are unable to complete their in-person field day are encouraged to use the apprentice hunter validation. 
  • The one-year expiration date for online hunter safety course vouchers (which are required for students to attend a field day) has been extended.
