Minnesota Supreme Court Victory: Grostyan fought a case that reached the Minnesota Supreme Court, challenging whether BB guns qualify as "firearms" under state law. The court reversed a felony conviction and 60-month prison sentence, establishing that air-powered BB guns are not firearms for purposes of illegal possession charges.

This decision eliminated the absurd result where convicted felons faced mandatory five-year sentences for possessing BB guns or toy air guns.
