hi from south mpls!

Postby unfitmother on Sat Dec 22, 2012 12:13 am

i've been a lurker on here since i found my first rifle on mnguntalk, back in march.

i'm really interested in conversations about how minneapolis & minnesota can be safer and more just places. i hope my posts will ad things to those conversations, and lead me to find people i share affinity with. if you like something i posted, please feel free to pm me if you aren't interested in posting a reply.

little more about myself:
i'm proud to have lived in mn my whole life. i was born & rasied in st. paul, and have lived in minneapolis for the past 5 years, with one year in mankato in between.
i took my first shot two years ago, at a winterseed, after unlearning my religious-like anti-gun beliefs and becoming agnostic (i don't know if guns are "good" or "bad").
if paul wellstone were still alive today, i'd probably be a liberal.
also, i am a bicycle mechanic and homebrewer, but i don't think that'll interest anybody 8-)

Quick question: As a cyclist, what's your opinion of Safety on the Midtown Greenway?

I carry 2 guns when I'm down there.

Lolol working off lake street is bad enough, that trail seems sketchy.

Welcome!

Professional bike wrench, or just keepin' yourself rollin'?

As to the Greenway, I rarely ride through Mpls, but I sometimes skate the lakes. The last time I was on the Greenway, it wasn't finished east of about Portland. looking at the eastern part of the trail from aerial photos, it appears to be the best possible set up for an ambush one could design. The trail runs through the old rail trench, fences on both sides, wide bridge pillars to hide behind. Fortunately for me, my east/ west routes are north or south of the Lake St area.

Homebrew? Did you say homebrew?

Yeah, I think you'll find a lot of cross-interests here. I work very part time at Brew n Grow up in Spring Lake Park.

I tell ya, there's nothing like spending an afternoon on the range then going home and pouring a cold IPA from your keg. mmm
