There was an email announcement earlier in the month from Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus.

Tickets are free, available online; last time I checked there were 200+ tickets available.
Should be interesting.
I suspect the antis will get rolled by the talent from our side.

I predict a wildly entertaining evening.

Tickets are not needed, no one will be checking them, and the venue seats around 1200 or so.

And yes, we will

I wish I could say that we'll win the debate because of the quality of our people, but the truth is that the anti's are handicapped by the ludicrosity of their positions.

What is an "assault rifle"?

What is an "assault rifle"?

Apparently, anything that is semi-automatic with a removable magazine.

Dayum I wish I could go, but my caregiver duties make it next to impossible to be out of the house in the evening.

It appears, via the Facebook page, that it will be recorded, presumably for podcast, also was suggested it might be on Bloomington CaTV.

I think I'll try to go.

And yes it will be recorded for cable tv and internet streaming of the channel at a later date. (So you can watch it outside of bloomington) It won't be live though.

Is this an appropriate place to wear my Trump Pence hat? I got many compliments on it over the weekend.
