Bloodbath Rising! - Saint Paul's

Bloodbath Rising! - Saint Paul's had its first crime involving a concealed carry permit holder since the Minnesota Personal Protection Act went into effect!

Here's the police blotter, passed to me by a source in City Hall:

Auto Theft: On 07/31/03 at 1521 hours [that's 3:21PM], officers were sent to 3XX Lexington on a stolen vehicle that was located, the owner (victim) was holding the suspect at gun point. The victim showed proof of Permit to Carry. One arrest was made.

But...wait; you mean to tell me the law-abiding permit-holder DIDN'T "blow" the perp "away", the way so many of the MPPA's detractors insisted would happen? No innocent bystanders mown down? No random gunfire?

Nope. Just another worthless car thief off the street, a car thief that would have gotten away to steal more cars - and G-d knows what else - had the law-abiding permit-holder not been able to react effectively. Just another would-be crime victim that isn't a crime victim after all.

One less Sandy Pappas voter on the street.

Will the media report this? And how?

More to come. Count on it.
