Does MN CCW allow for rifles?

Specifically for any MN folks who might have some insight. I am trying to determine if MN CCW permit allows for the carry of a rifle? My intent is while out in the woods to have something with a little more punch than a .44MAG. From what I can gather, the law does permit this but obviously what the statute says and what courts determine it to mean are sometimes different. Just curious if anyone has any experience with this topic.For reference MN 624.7181 sub 1(b)(3) "Sub 1.Definitions. For purposes of this section, the following terms have the meanings given them." "(b) Carry" does not include:" "(3) the carrying of a BB gun, rifle, or shotgun by a person who has a permit under section 624.714"Sub 2 goes on to discuss the penalties for "carrying" a BB gun, Rifle or Shotgun. So it sounds to me like a CCW in MN would permit the OPEN carry of a rifle. Thoughts?(MN CCW permit is a carry permit. It does not distinguish between concealed or open carry. Both are legal with the permit.) via /r/CCW https://ift.tt/3Cadak9
