Process To Regain Gun Rights
To begin the process of having your rights to own or possess firearms or ammunition, or to inform someone else of the process of having them restored, use Minnesota Court Document FIR201 to petition the court in the county that held jurisdiction over the commitment. FIR201 can be found on www.mncourts.gov/GetForms and provides instructions and requirements to begin petitioning the court.
To petition the court in Itasca County, fill out form FIR201, and contact Itasca County Court Administration at 218-327-2870 to begin the process of bringing your motion before a judge. The court administrator will have additional paperwork to fill out and a filing fee may be required. A hearing will be scheduled following the processing of the application.
A person committed due to being at risk of harm (mental illness, developmental disability, or mentally ill and dangerous) loses firearm possession rights, which are not automatically restored after commitment.

Someone who has finished a civil commitment must request the court to restore their ability to own a gun. They need to provide evidence of mental health stability or three years of successful treatment for their condition
