The Answers - For years,

The Answers - For years, the Star-Tribune carried the water for the anti-gun movement in Minnesota, uncritically carrying the fevered rantings of the likes of West Skoglund and Matt Entenza.

They were also the first prominent media outlet to give the concealed carry issue any sort of relatively fair coverage, during the '01 legislative session, when Conrad DeFiebre broke the ice and actually learned something about the issue.

Today, the Strib runs a list of frequently-asked questions about concealed carry, complete with answers.

It's a good step, which helps make up for all the wrong impressions people got during their years of "coverage" that began and ended with the fabrications of the bill's opponents.

And yet, the spin remains. Read the article, and notice how many sympathetic quotes given to those who are trying to find ways to ban the law-abiding permittee from their properties, or find ways to extend the law's restrictions to their circumstances, compared to the complete lack of rebuttal.
