As we watch the progress of Minnesota’s “Consitutional Carry” bill – which would remove the law-abiding citizen’s requirement to ask the government for a permit to exercise their Constitutional right to carry a firearm – it’s worth noting the tide that is building in Free America for this utterly sensible measure.
So far this year, Missouri and New Hampshire have enacted Constitutional Carry. That brings the total to 12 states that don’t interfere with their residents’ Constitutional rights.
And North Dakota looks to be likely to pass it shortly (along with a “First Armed Responder in Schools” bill allowing trained school staff to carry permitted firearms). This shows one of the many good things that happen when a state’s Democrat party is reduced to a shadow organization.
My prediction: It passes the Minnesota Legislature with bipartisan majority, to get vetoed by Governor Flint Smith.
Let ’em. Flint Smith can run against that in 2018.
I suspect you will be able to add the great state of South Carolina this year. Missed by a hair last year, and I don’t think there is a politician in the state that didn’t get a whiff of what’s cooking for cuckservatives.
There’s even a decent shot of Texas passing it.
I think it’ll pass the MN House easily. Senate will be a little harder, but I think it’ll work.
Then, it’s up to the Dems; Do as their Bloomie overlords command and veto it and give shooters a HUGE campaigning point in 2018? Or pass it and let the Metrocrats run wild?
There’s even a decent shot of Texas passing it.
I wish. Legislature here is more concerned about a bathroom bill.
To be fair, the original Constitutional carry state is bluer (and whiter) than the ocean or sky. It was one of the few things political I was proud to claim when I had to admit I was a Vermonter.
