Are Brass Knuckles Illegal in Minnesota

Brass knuckles are illegal in Minnesota. State Statute §609.66 classifies them as a dangerous weapon, and possessing them can result in misdemeanor or felony charges depending on intent and circumstances.
Minnesota’s definition includes both metal and non-metal variants, so even plastic knuckle dusters are considered illegal.
Residents who want to remain compliant should avoid owning, selling, or carrying brass knuckles — even as collector’s items — since there are no exceptions in the current law.
