Five classes of persons are prohibited from possessing handguns.[9] These are: (1) individuals who have been convicted of a crime of violence in any jurisdiction, unless 10 years have passed since the individual’s civil rights have been restored or his sentence has expired and provided that he has not been convicted of a second crime of violence in that period; (2) individuals who have been committed as "mentally ill ... .. mentally deficient," or "dangerous to the public," unless they are no longer suffering from the disability; (3) juveniles under 18 years of age who do not fall within one of the four specified exceptions; [10] (4) individuals who have been convicted of unlawful use, possession or sale of a controlled substance (other than a small amount of marijuana) or have been committed for treatment for the habitual use of a controlled substance; and (5) individuals confined or committed as an "inebriate person" unless they possess proof that they have not abused alcohol during the previous two years.
Possession of a handgun by an individual in the first class is a felony. Possession by an individual in any of the other classes is a misdemeanor.[11] [Page 457]
There is more on the Mn state website

Sorry to jack this thread but since the subject of armed felons is being discussed I have a dilemma I don't know how to deal with. My ex is living with an ex-felon who that for the past 2 years has thrown subliminal threats towards me. He never physically threatened me until about a week after Thanksgiving where he threatened to "knock me out." About a year ago I found he had a gun when I dropped my 8 year old son off to his mother. The next day my son tells me that he saw a gun on the coffee table and the "boyfriend" was nowhere near it. When I confronted my ex about it she denied it at first but eventually admitted to him having a gun and that he was upstairs sleeping when my son saw it on the coffee table. About 2 months ago my son and my 17 year old daughter both saw the gun on the dresser in their mother's bedroom and again the boyfriend was nowhere near it. I don't even think he was in the house that time.
My question is how do I deal with the threats and knowing the fact that a convicted felon has a gun around my kids? I am a CCW holder and I am prepared to protect myself if he should ever decide to go ahead with his threats but I don't know how to deal with the fact that I can't protect my kids while they are at home with their mother and around that loser.

MYOB and stay away from him so he doesn't knock you out. You asked the question. There's one answer.
If your ex wanted you making decisions for her she wouldn't be your ex.
Why not be kind to the guy and let him know that the last thing you would ever do is meddle in his business, but you'd appreciate it if he keeps the guns out of reach of the kids.
Then hope he doesn't knock you out.
If he doesn't maybe you will have set the foundation for a relationship where he gives a crap about your opinion.
He's a man just like you.
Or, how about the other scenario. You call and report him and they come and take him away. A week later some scumbag breaks in and kills and rapes your ex and your children because you had to "do the right thing" and turn him in.
See, you can't win. All you can do is pray about it and try to make the best of the situation.
On the other hand if the guy hurts one of your kids you need to knock him out.

Go to court and sue for sole custody. Without any real evidence of a crime being committed, the police can't do anything. Of course, you will have to prove your allegations in court, but in family court it will be a preponderance of the evidence, vice beyond reasonable doubt as in criminal court.
The reason why calling the police won't do any good is that I could call the police and say my daughter saw drugs in your house. No evidence, though, just my phone call....

I understand what you're saying and one of the reasons I haven't reported him yet is because I'm trying to mind my own business but here's another scenario for you and one that hits close to home for me..my sister-in-law back home has a brother. He had a gun and he left it laying around (I believe on the coffee table as well) and his 9 year old son found it and killed himself by accident with it. That is what I am afraid of the most. My son finding his gun and harming himself or worse. If that ever happened I could never forgive myself and I would probably end up in prison myself after finding her boyfriend. On one end I want to mind my own business but on the other I won't be able to forgive myself for not minding my business if my son finds his gun and harms himself. The boyfriend is a piece of ****, he went to prison for about 6 years for beating his ex-wife, he has multiple grand and petit larceny charges in addition to a few other felonies that I can't remember. Him and I have gotten into numerous arguments over the past 2 years and I will never get along with him.
@NavyLCDR As far as going for custody I do plan on doing that once I get a few things in order. After the separation I went thru hard times, I lost my house and right now I am staying with a friend. I plan on finding a place within a month or 2 then proceding to file for custody for my son but I was just looking for any possible advice or anything I can do before that.

You can't win. Been there, done that. For every ten words you say to the guy your ex is saying 500 against you.
If your ex is attracted to this kind of guy there isn't anything you can do. The best ally you have in this case is God.
Show your son how much he's worth. Teach him about the dangers of guns. Show him how to use one. Maybe one day he will have to use it and save his own life or the life of your ex.
I have a daughter close to the same age. I can show you video of her clearing and having trouble securing her weapon with the loudest AR-15 you've ever heard going off next to her. But she wouldn't leave the weapon lying unsecured.
Teach your son the value of all life, including his own and teach him about firearms and leave the rest in God's hands.
The boyfriend sounds like a piece of ****. He will get what's coming to him eventually. But right now your son is the best defense your family has. The courts have taken away your rights to protect him 24/7. You have to deal with the cards you are dealt.
