08FEB2013 Pro-Gun March on State Capitol

Postby 3Spaniels on Tue Jan 01, 2013 9:15 am

I was just over at ARF.COM and noticed the posting in the link below. I know nothing other than what the link says. Does anyone know more about it?

I think I will have to attend.

I'll be the old guy wearing a Beaver Fur Hat. Hope to see you there. What is the parking situation there? I have some mobility issues.

Sounds like I'll have to send my certified letter to the capitol. It would seem silly to do this unarmed!

I'm curious how much support this gets from major organizations -- it would not be good to have a small gathering. This is also a month into MN's legislative session - and some DFL leadership appear to be trying to make a stake on gun control this year.

Does anyone know anything about the group behind this?

08FEB2013 Pro-Gun March on State Capitol

Postby xd ED on Tue Jan 01, 2013 10:40 am

I'll echo Bryan's concerns and add that the weather on 8 Feb is not likely to be conducive to a large, family-friendly gathering.
I've been to the mid-april tax rally's and it's colder than crap many times.

Don't know if this horse can be kept in the barn. But this event needs some serious 2nd thoughts
My $0.02

ETA: 8 Feb falls on a Friday. I find that odd, unless it's somehow significant to the state in which this plan originated.

I know it is well intended but does it send the message that law abiding citizens will not be armed as the capitols are usually "gun free" zones. Prime fodder for criminals unless they are too lazy to brave the cold.

I agree on all of the above, but, I want to be there if it is going to happen.

If you're going to go to this, PLEASE dress nice. A suit would be best. And I'm not referring to a Canadian tuxedo either.

To be treated seriously, you have to look like you're someone who should be treated seriously. Leave your Polaris jacket at home.

Suits, really? As for the gun free zone, the statute requires "notification" to carry on the capitol grounds. Here is the excerpt from Mn statute

609.66 Subd. 1g.Felony; possession in courthouse or certain state buildings. (a) A person who commits either of the following acts is guilty of a felony and may be sentenced to imprisonment for not more than five years or to payment of a fine of not more than $10,000, or both:
(1) possesses a dangerous weapon, ammunition, or explosives within any courthouse complex; or
(2) possesses a dangerous weapon, ammunition, or explosives in any state building within the Capitol Area described in chapter 15B, other than the National Guard Armory.
(b) Unless a person is otherwise prohibited or restricted by other law to possess a dangerous weapon, this subdivision does not apply to:
(1) licensed peace officers or military personnel who are performing official duties;
(2) persons who carry pistols according to the terms of a permit issued under section 624.714 and who so notify the sheriff or the commissioner of public safety, as appropriate;
(3) persons who possess dangerous weapons for the purpose of display as demonstrative evidence during testimony at a trial or hearing or exhibition in compliance with advance notice and safety guidelines set by the sheriff or the commissioner of public safety; or
(4) persons who possess dangerous weapons in a courthouse complex with the express consent of the county sheriff or who possess dangerous weapons in a state building with the express consent of the commissioner of public safety.

This excerpt discussed the state building. I have read somewhere that the entire capitol grounds is gun free. Look it up on google maps, its huge. Be safe and send a notification letter to the MN Commissioner of Public Safety.
