A bill that would allow citizens more freedom to use deadly force is now on a fast track to Gov. Mark Dayton.
The Senate passed the bill Thursday with bipartisan support in a 40-23 vote after heated debate….Dayton has not said if he will veto the bill, but was concerned with police opposition.
Bi-Partisan AND a wide margin! Again being anti-rights is an extremist position not looked upon sympathetically by rational Americans, Liberal or Conservative. I suspect with a backing like that the Governor would be a fool to veto it, but we have boots on the ground there, so what do those of you from Minnesota think?
We’re not real sure where the Governor is on this – so we’ll have to wait and see.
What we do not is that we can bring more letters and e-mails and calls to the table than the opponents – so there’s hope.

Joan and Company are predictably gnashing their teeth and throwing their hands in the air. Even Public radio is giving airtime to their cause…
The Governor is a wild card as Bryan has stated…and without 2/3rds in the House…a veto override is unlikely.
Somewhere, Joel Rosenberg is smiling.
Cool. Opens up another state for me to carry in, if it is finalized and signed.
“This bill provides a loophole for a defense of what I would call cold-blooded murder,” said Champlin Police Chief David Kolb of the Minnesota Chiefs of Police Association.
Kolb recounted being 10 years old and sneaking onto a neighbor’s south Minneapolis property to steal apples from a tree.
Based on the proposal, “now the property owner can use force, and even deadly force, against that 10-year-old apple thief,” Kolb said. “You can see the disconnect here with reality.”
Yep, definite disconnect from reality. And he’s a chief? oh brother.
I think she’s particularly butt-hurt today, the day after…

I can’t even begin to describe the epic response I’m going to post for this one.
They’ve lost the war, there is no hope, and they invested EVERYTHING in an ideology that is 100% wrong. Something has to break at that point. A Smart person will admit they were totally wrong, and work in a new direction to reduce violent crime.
Stupid people double-down and go more insane. Of course Joan is stupid, and evil, but she also is getting paid to do all of this….
And when they passed “shall issue” here, the streets ran red with the blood of…no wait…
They didn’t!!!
I am waiting to see what Dayton will do.
I’m really hoping on this. I’ve been told by people who work for the state that Dayton can seem to be all over the place with decision making.
