The state Department of Public Safety, operating outside the bounds set by the Legislature, added a series of additional questions to the online (and at some point, one presumes, print) Minnesota carry permit application form.

Some of those include: whether you’ve been in treatment for substance abuse, fled the state to avoid prosecution or if you’ve been convicted of a crime as a juvenile.

The backlash from Minnesota gun owners got those changes removed in a day and a half.

The Minnesota Republican Party could learn a lot from Minnesota’s Second Amendment human rights activists.

Sure, there’s bad news.  Or should I say, Bad News.

Back at noon with that.
