Someone please start selling these.
And, the crime rate continues to drop.
Wisconsin, with its historic and less restrictive shall issue law, reached this level in six months.
Most people have the power to kill, what he has now is the legal means to readily and effectively defend himself against one of those "most people" that decide to prey upon him.
It is even more horrifying in Alaska, Arizona Vermont, and Wyoming, where residents don’t have to get permission from the State to carry a concealed weapon.
The commies at the "Star & Sickle" at their best again.
I knew of a judge, sick of seeing abused women showing up in court repeatedly, started issuing “will carry” bench orders to them. Basically, when in public they would be required to be armed, and carry a copy of the order to present to any LEO who questioned their being armed.
Because some of these women were poor, he even issued them guns and ammunition he had purchased if they couldn’t afford it. And because it worked so well, the police department started collecting money for the “gun fund”, as well. They had their craw full of women getting beaten again and again as well.
That is, the number of women he saw twice or more dropped to zero.
Unfortunately, this was back in the 1980s, and the value of judges doing this today is just as important.
That is, if a state is “shall issue”, judges should also “will carry” orders.
100,000?
Its a start.
Every last one of us has a “permit”.
It was issued in 1791.
In Utah, where gun laws are so liberal ...
LOL! What convoluted *liberal* logic to call the Bill of rights “liberal.”
“He’s just another average Minnesotan who has acquired the power to kill.”
Got news for you, Larry. You don’t need a gun to have to power to take a life. But a gun *does* make it a whole lot easier to stop someone intent on taking yours.

Such a small number of responsible citizens is hardly enough to make a significant impact. Minnesota should encourage more people to take responsibility for their own safety. Get those numbers up, so people can make a difference.
I would like to see the ratio of crime done with guns by street gangs vs law abiding citizens. Also include those time where the cops were late in arriving, or time of call to time of showing up at a house breakin.
1 in 40 way too high, I don’t buy it.
Only 1 in 40, kinda woosie. Should be a crap shoot for criminals trying to guess if they are going to get blown away by grandma or grandpa.
In the beginning it was 1977. Man had appeared.
Thinking the title was one of those weird MN dialect things I expected good news aboot the gunbearer job market.
like this little feller except taller, blonde, and female.
Ah well, good news nonetheless. Still....
Need more permits.
