A group of gun owners have set their sights on a series of Twin Cities neighborhood family events for their own gun-toting get-togethers, beginning this weekend.
The gun owners meet-up events, in which the promoters suggest guns be carried openly and not just concealed, came as a surprise to some city officials and organizers of the Open Streets neighborhood gatherings.
Im shocked and saddened, said Nancy Homans, policy director for St. Paul Mayor Chris Coleman. It seems like guns isnt the right kind of activity for this event. Were not even allowing alcohol. Im not sure theres much of a connection between these two events.
The Facebook page promoting Open Streets-Open Carry says gun owners will add their own twist to the neighborhood events by encouraging open carry for pro-active, positive visibility of law abiding gun owners participating in normal social activity
Like normal people!
