Thank you bstrawse. It's disgusting how our legislature is down to an 'us verses them' mentality. It's 'WE WIN' or 'WE LOSE' on every issue for some of our legislators. Case in point. Straw purchases. The Dems voted down stricter penalties last session then submitted their very own (almost word for ...

Rep. Walter Hudson on HF 4300 ('Safe Storage')---Now this is some REAL ' common sense '. He also spoke very well against HF 601 the 'Lost or Stolen' law. HF 601 still passed the house though. I haven't found the full debate on HF 4300 like I did for HF 601 but EVERYONE , each and every legislator sp...

One thing about HF601 (Lost or Stolen) I think would have been fun but probably not helpful would be to go full sarcasm on the bill as to the good it could do. "This bill is NECESSARY to SAVE LIVES ! With timely information about lost or stolen firearms, law enforcement personnel would be able ...

Well, House File (HF 601) giving the victims of gun theft 48 hours to report the loss or theft of a firearm (after they reasonably should have known about it) passed the MN House 68 to 63. Alpha News had a link to the debate on the issue and you can also see the debate on YouTube: https://www.youtub...

bstrawse---your efforts are very much appreciated!

Ruling that the entire interior of a car is "public space" seems way over-expansive to me.

So....since it's a public space, can I just get in your car? You know, get out of the sun, get out of the rain, relax, have a soft drink or a snack? Just wondering. Oh, and can I bring my dog?

Here's a video from the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) that makes the case that bans on high capacity magazines are illegal. They base this on the concept of items in common use cannot be banned. They cite there are (conservatively) ONE BILLION (that's 'BILLION' with a 'B') high capacity...

TPT Almanac had an interesting interview about the Minnesota Prison System 4/12/2024. Here's a link to the show and the interview is about at the 31 minute mark. https://video.tpt.org/video/rideshare-update-environmental-laws-housing-plans-40698/ They're talking to two people; David Boehnke, Incarce...

He’s charged with Class X armed habitual criminal and being a felon in possession of a firearm. His previous felony convictions include being a felon in possession of a firearm in 2014 and narcotics cases in 2018, 2013, 2008, and 2007. But but but...Good Golly! Can't you see he was turning his life...

Hmmm....Steve Simon assures us there's no voter fraud...i.e. voters don't need to produce an ID because there is no problem, and his office can't even check on the residency requirements for the CANDIDATES let alone the VOTERS. Remember John Thompson and his Wisconsin driver's license? Things need t...

I also think our 'Red Flag' laws, pardon me the 'Extreme Risk Protection Orders' (ERPO) laws that take guns away from people "when they are at risk of harming themselves or someone else" should be amended to include removing ALL of the above items from the individual too. After all, "...

Here's a link to a story about the Minnesota Safe Storage Law (April 4, 2024): https://www.twincities.com/2024/04/04/mn-legislature-may-pass-gun-bills-on-straw-purchases-safe-storage-reporting-stolen-weapons-this-session/ I'm of two minds about the Safe Storage Law where you could be convicted of a ...

I just put enough weight in mine to make sure it will take 2 to 3 idiots to move it.

OF COURSE!!!
THAT'S why I had to buy my shotgun---and whatever I decide to get in the future. To put more weight in the safe!!!
Brilliant.
Thank you.
