Thanks to its amazing geography, Minnesota is known as "the Land of
10,000 Lakes." Whether that is an accurate count of the lakes or not it
really means that you won't have to travel far in Minnesota to see a
sample nature's beauty. As idyllic as spending time on one of those
crystal clear lakes might be, you can never completely escape from the
rules and restrictions of society.
Minnesota laws have been crafted over the years by the state
legislature. As the times change, the laws adapt but there are some
laws on the books that have outlived their practicality. When it comes
to the basics of criminal and civil law, you can rest assured that
Minnesota laws are up to date and provide the structure for living in a
peaceful community.
Minnesota Gun Laws
The reason states have adopted gun laws is not to restrict people from
owning guns but to protect everyone from the unlawful use of a gun.
Minnesota gun laws deliver the guidelines for gun ownership and
purchasing. There are some residents who would be barred from owning
guns because of their past criminal history or mental capacity. Before
you decide to buy a gun or even if you've already been given a gun as a
present you need to understand the laws.
Minnesota Criminal Laws
Even with all the peace and calm to be found at any of Minnesota's
lakes, there is still the chance that a crime can occur. Minnesota
criminal laws spell out the difference between a felony crime and a
misdemeanor crime. No one wants to find themselves on the wrong side of
the law but if that does happen you should know what you're facing.
Felony crimes carry more severe jail sentences and potential fines. A
convicted felon also has many of their individual freedoms restricted.
Minnesota DUI Laws
Drunk drivers have been causing accidents and deaths ever since the
automobile was invented. Minnesota DUI laws follows the lead of other
states in handing down serious punishments for even a first time DUI
offender. Because innocent lives are at stake, there should be no
second guessing when it comes to keeping convicted DUI offenders off
the road. That is the goal of any of the Minnesota DUI laws.
Minnesota Divorce Laws
Getting married means you are making a commitment to your spouse.
Unfortunately, that commitment is not legally binding. For whatever
reason that a marriage breaks down, it's important the the dissolution
be handled properly. Minnesota divorce laws are set up to protect both
sides in a marriage no matter whose fault the break up might be.
A judge takes in many factors when deciding how to split up the
property, award alimony and handle all child custody matters. The
Minnesota divorce laws also set forth what the legal grounds for
divorce might be. A divorce is not a fun time for anyone but knowing
the laws can provide a small measure of comfort.
Minnesota Bankruptcy Laws
When a person has reached the end of their proverbial rope they might
opt to file for bankruptcy. Although that might provide temporary
relief for some bills, there are still a lot of ramifications to
consider before filing. Minnesota bankruptcy laws explain all the
details of filing and who might be eligible.

can you get a 2nd degree assault charge which you were found guilty of expunged from your record. I want to join the army and they won't take me cause they say in the army all 2nd degree assault charges are felonies, even though mine was a misdemeandor.

the max sentence for a class A is 365 days. I've been told that they absolutely cannot keep you past that w/o some other charge. is that right? And can they extend that if you violate probation?
