Women And Guns, Take II
By Mitch Berg
Let’s try this again.
This morning, I started trying to dissect a report by Devin Bartolotta at Rochster’s KTTC-TV on the number of women with carry permits in southeastern Minnesota (numbers which are reflected statewide and are not limited to Rochester).
In my first attempt to write about the story this morning, Bartolotta’s report jumped into groaning cliché so early I had to abort my report this morning, and decided to take another run at it now, over the noon hour.
So let’s try it again. Bartolotta’s report focuses on the number of women who are getting carry permits in the greater Rochester area:
Chris Marquette is a permit to carry instructor. His weekly classes are packed with women who want to learn more about packing heat…
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
ARE YOU ****ING KIDDING ME?
“Packing heat?”
HOLY MARY MOTHER OF JESUS H. CHRIST ON A HARLEY DAVIDSON! That’s TWICE IN THE FIRST TEN SECONDS OF THE REPORT!
Good Lord.
OK. I’ll try again tomorrow morning. If I have to kick off the day with a shot of bourbon to mellow out, I’ll do it. But I’ll get through it.
Honest. I will.

“Like their pioneer great-grandmothers, Twin Cities women of today are eager to learn how to handle smoke-fuming roscoes.”
