I just wanted everyone to know that on Monday the Crime Prevention Committee, chaired by Sen. Leo Foley, will take testimony on the concealed carry bill(s) being considered this year. I know members of this list have had many discussions on this issue, and I don't want to restart that thread, but I wanted people to think about coming to the capitol to testify if you feel strongly about its effect on our Mpls neighborhoods.
And business owners may want to weigh in on the proposal to require that if you want to restrict guns from your establishment, you have to provide liability insurance and lockboxes in which your patrons can stow their guns, but to which they have access at all times. And anyone who likes to go to bars, sporting events, church, theaters, and other public events might just have an opinion to share too. The hearing is in Room G15 in the capitol. 12:30 to 3 PM. If you would like to testify, you can call Sen. Foley's office at 651 296 4878 or 651 296 4154. Sen Linda Higgins North Mpls TEMPORARY REMINDER: 1. Send all posts in plain-text format. 2.
