Never happen in Minnesota.

Honestly, I have no idea how “Shall Issue” ever passed.

Honestly, I have no idea how “Shall Issue” ever passed.

I remember that - every cliche was dragged out in an attempt to stampede the people against it. It got so bad, I wrote one hand-wringing reporter an email paraphrasing the Five Stage of Accepting Death with Shall Issue, using headlines over the past few months for each stage.

She admitted it was clever, but that "it would never pass". I promised her that a year later she'd either be reading or writing an article along the lines of "Gee, nothing like that happened" - the same as experiences by all the other states and their anti-gun Media.

A year later, I forwarded her an article along that same line by her own newspaper and asked for a comment. Never heard a word.

Simple enough. We organized, fund-raised, campaigned. We volunteered for the candidates who supported us, talked to the candidates who were on the fence, etc.

It’s called politicking.

It all started when Joe Olson decided to do something, printed up some flyers, and headed out to a gun show.

(This is, by the way, the anti’s are so adamantly opposed to gun shows - they hate that gun owners have venues where they can get together and talk about things.)
