The Next Battle?

While the Minnesota Personal Protection Act is law again, there are still challenges.

Darth Lillehaug still lurks on the legal outskirts, plotting how to get his next lawsuit to a tame, DFL-owned judge.

And there might be a more direct threat out there: law enforcement is trying to move the goalposts on instructor certification. The training that permit applicants receive is a big political football right now; the left knows that if they can constrict the supply of instructors, it'll drive up the cost and and difficulty of getting a permit. In the left can require every permit applicant to get trained by a graduate of the SAS CQB course, it'll make the entry requirmements perfectly absurd.

The next legislative session is going to be vital for concealed carry reform; we're going to have to fix the law to head off more lawsuits from well-heeled, clout-rich Edina churches, and beat back the attack on the instructors. Which means we're going to have to stay organized, and not relax. Not just yet.

Joel Rosenberg is starting a forum to help get us organized for the upcoming battle. Check it out - and stay tuned. The big victory is won - but as we see in Iraq, mopping up can be a bitch.
