"What do these 43 states with CCW laws KNOW that cities of Washington DC, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, and the states of Illinois, Wisconsin, Ohio, Minnesota, Iowa, Kansas and Missouri, don't know?? "

You left out New Jersey. It does not and never will, have a concealed carry law. Only the police, and bodyguards to rich liberal maggots and state judges can get carry permits.

Wsahington, D.C. - well, they re-elected pot-head Marion Barry didn't they?

Illinois? That state is dominated by Democratic, liberql Chicago and its environs.

New York? Hahahaha. You can get longer time there foir defending yourself with a weapon than your attacked will. But then. New York City, like New Jersey, is hardly part of the U.S. anymore anyway.

Los Angeles?? The illegal alien center of the west? No surprise there. Of course most voters there oppose guns. Besides, the illeglas don't ollow laws anyway, and couldn't even read them if they wanted to.

Wisconsin, Ohio, Kansas, Iowa and Missouri. Surprises me there. But then Wisconsin has a large college population, Kansas has Kansas City, and Missoouri has Kansas City.
Iowa?? They do strnage things with corn out there, don't they?

Minnesota, the land of the liberal Swedes, Norweigans, et al? No surprise there either.

Wisconsin has a serious shall-issue effort in play. Their bill passed the House, but was killed in committee in the Senate.

Ohio has a shall-issue effort in play. And a fascinating effort going on in the courts. The current Ohio law forbidding concealed carry was ruled unconstitutional, and the decision was upheld on appeal. If the legislature doesn't pass a permitting bill, Ohio may soon be a Vermont-carry state.

Minnesota's shall-issue bill passed the House overwhelmingly last session, and failed in the Senate on a tied vote. We've picked up 5-6 pro-gun seats in the Senate, and even our enemies think we're going to win this time.

The best source for Minnesota political insider gossip ( The Minnesota Players Page says this:

As the session opened protestors greeted legislators. People carrying pink signs lined the stairway into the Senate Chamber. This was a gathering of anti-gun protestors who seek to prevent conceal and carry legislation. With the change in the make-up of the membership in both the Senate and the House it is expected both bodies will pass a conceal and carry bill. The futile effort is another example of how people are failing in understanding the earth has shifted.

There also was an anti-war on the poor protest. This contained many of the usual suspects and seemed like a person could close their eyes and think this was the 1970’s all over again. While the protestor’s shouted, “Hey politicians, Stop the War. Take from the Rich and not the Poor.” It was unclear if this was an anti-war with Iraq protest, an anti-war on the Poor protest or both.

Whatever it was we doubt it had much impact on the newly elected Republican members other than to prove there are a number of unique people in St. Paul.
