When I lived in Calif. and worked in the bay area. I carry conceled without a permit. I now live in a state that has ccp. The only different is I carry a bigger pistol. And you know what, I've never shot anyone or even had to draw it from my holster. But it's there if I ever need it.

Stanley said she’s aware that none of the 34 states that previously approved conceal carry laws have repealed them.

“I think that’ll be different in this state,” she said.

There is a reason why none of these states have repealed their CCW laws.

Anti-gunners are afraid of CCW not because they will put more guns on the streets but because they inevitably illuminate the fact that their positions toward guns are based on lies and misconceptions.

...the new Minnesota law that allows most people the privilege of carrying a concealed handgun.

Huh? Only those who train, apply, pay, pass, and wait are allowed the "privilege", and such applicants are only a tiny fraction of the population.

Well, the kiddie-pimps like her and the others who make a living off of exploiting kids for political gain proabaly won't do very well, but I can live with that.

I call it Political Pedophilia.

She's gonna be a lot more afraid for her life if she succeeds...

"I'm afraid and I'll feel much better if I can take honest people's guns away from them, whether it will actually help or not." That is it exactly. Very well put.

Actually I think that's the very best reason. Excersising your rights helps to keep them (though it shouldn't matter.)

On this issue, a number of them are, yes......we are probably the soccer mom (and dad, for that matter) capitol of the world.

If a state is willing to elect both Christian conservative Tim Pawlenty and marxist-socialist Mark Dayton, that shows that political and philosophical principles aren't of much importance here. Most voters here care more about a handsome mug and a friendly voice than what they do once in office.
