Again with the disclosure...

>The worker who opened fire did have a state-issued permit to carry a firearm, but such licensing is not required when the gun is on the premises for protecting a place of business, Kvam said.

I can maybe understand releasing a person's permit status when it would be relevant to the charges that were or were not filed. (The shooting in Rochester, for example.)

But here, when they admit it has no bearing on the case, what is the rationale?

I am always confused by these revelations regarding their carry permit status, given it's confidential by law.
Apropos of nothing,
As I understand it, the owner shot the robber. I been in the place many times. It appears to be a family business, with a decent selection of beer and jug wine for a small shop.

Maybe add a little silhouette of a robber to the front window to indicate "1, and counting". :twisted:

The robbers head on a spike outside, to be replaced in a few days with a plastic trophy head to avoid drawing flies and a bonus from the street committee.

It baffles me that the police keep getting away with releasing info about permits. I think it would be just fine to say "legally possessed firearm" and be done with it. Wish I had the bucks to bring them to court to hold them accountable. Actually, I wish the county attorney did their job and did it for me.

I've been to that store many times while I lived in Oakdale and had a few conversations outside of purchasing.

One thing not mentioned is the vulnerability of the two children in back of store should the "robbers" continue their attack.

With info provided, I feel its a justifiable self-defense shooting.

Mrs was again behind the counter. Mr was there as well. Many other customers expressing their condolences.
