There is virtually no liability associated with owning, or operating an AED. The MN Code Tort Immunity reads as follows:

This act amends a provision in the Good Samaritan Statute that includes providing emergency medical care by using or providing an automatic external defibrillator in the definition of "emergency care." It provides that a person rendering this care during the course of regular employment and receiving compensation will be protected from liability unless the usual and regular duties of the person include the provision of emergency medical care (the general law excludes persons acting within the scope of employment.)
