Author Topic: Concealed Carry Law in MN - no violence yet (Read 682 times)

About a year or so ago, Minnesota passed a "must issue" concealed carry law.

Of course prior to that all the anti-gun ladies were all quivering and predicting our state would soon be littered with bodies, highway shoulders strewn with the results of road rage, etc.

Hmmm, big surprise for them all, not a single sotryhas been on the news about a single case of someone getting shot by a person issued a CCW permit.

Where is the bloodbath? Where are all the drunken Bubbas waving firearms around like they predicted?

They didn't bother researching the effects of this law on the other 34 states, give or take, that already have the law. The anti-gun types have never really been strong on letting true facts get in the way of their emotional rhetoric, why start now I guess?

Oh well,

They always predict the bloodbath and it never comes..

Vote "them" out of office.

Hey, I hear my home state is going to reinstitute the death penalty, after 100 years. WTG Minnesota!

Funny thing yesterday on the news, some "anti-CCW" women were at the State Capitor (I think it was in capitol building anyway) trying to get support to overturn the law, when a guy shows them he is carrying. They immediatly call the State Patrol officers over, the guys shows them his permit, and a letter from the state allowing him to carry in the building, and the Patrol lets him alone. I am sure them ladies were peeved. I was amused.

It's not the guns I mind, its all the stupid "This establishment bans guns in this building" signs in virtually every place of business. Talk about an eye sore.

FUNKED1 · « **Reply #6 on:** February 03, 2004, 01:23:17 PM »

Then ask those foolish businesses to take down the signs.

I think it's a state law that if they don't want guns on the premisis, they have to display a sign that is so big, at such high a level, etc.

I think the signs would be great. I would walk in everyone and say "Well I was going to spend my money at your store. TO bad your managment wants to be like facist germany and not allow me to carry my legal firearm."

Then boycott the stores with foolish policies.

Guess I'd have to boycott going to work then.

"IBM Bans guns on these premises."

Well at least send a letter to management.

The signs were probably a law signed in to appease those on the losing end of the CCP battle. If you don't give Democrats some breathing room, they get downright violent.

Man I love carrying this pocket constitution around. Especially love it when I shove it in the manager's face.

LOL, that's the last thing we need in the old big blue pressure cooker, is guns.

Stress + Guns = B.A.D.
