North Dakota State Law Summary |
Last updated November 14, 2011
In its publication Gun Laws Matter: A Comparison of State Firearms Laws and Statistics, LCAV ranked each state based on a review of state laws in 25 different firearms-related policy areas. North Dakota ranked 36th out of 50 – having enacted few gun violence prevention laws. North Dakota does not:
-
Require a background check prior to the transfer of a firearm between private parties;
-
Prohibit the transfer or possession of assault weapons, 50 caliber rifles, or large capacity ammunition magazines;
-
License or significantly regulate firearms dealers;
-
Limit the number of firearms that may be purchased at one time;
-
Regulate unsafe handguns;
-
Require the licensing of gun owners; or
-
Impose registration requirements on firearms.
Local governments in North Dakota generally lack authority to regulate firearms and ammunition, and North Dakota affords local law enforcement some discretion in issuing concealed carry licenses.
In 2007 (the last year for which data is available), North Dakota ranked 16th among the states in the number of gun deaths per capita.
