DNR Firearms
 
Nearly 300 firearms were auctioned off by the Minnesota DNR over the weekend. 

Zimmerman was the place to be, as large crowds gathered to bid on an assortment of confiscated firearms. 

The gear included nearly 300 shotguns and rifles that state officials confiscated from people who broke the law while hunting or fishing. 

Gun buyers have to clear a federal background check before they’re able to collect their purchases. 

This was the first DNR firearms auction in about four years.
