I sent the following to Nick Coleman – the “Executive Editor” of Twin Cities’ videoleftyblog The Uptake<\/em>, which appears to have jettisoned all pretense of being anything but, well, a videoleftyblog – after reading his email to the Gun Owners Civil Rights Alliance last night:<\/p>\n

Mr. Coleman,<\/p>\n

I caught your note to Andrew Rothman on Facebook.<\/p>\n

As a rigidly law-abiding gun owner, I have a special interest in policing my own.<\/p>\n

So if you would please: from whom are you getting this “growing sense” at the Capitol?<\/p>\n

Any actual legislators you could name? Did they have complaints about any specific behavior, from any particular attendees?<\/p>\n

If they felt intimidated, was there a reason they didn’t notify Capitol Security – who said, Mr. Rothman noted, that the crowd was better-behaved than most?<\/p>\n

Finally, Mr. Coleman – as you have publicly acknowledged being a carry permit holder, how do people “find it possible” do do anything around you, knowing that you may be armed? It’s a serious question.<\/p>\n

Thanks in advance.<\/p>\n

I’m not exactly expecting an answer. \u00a0The one time Nick answered a question of mine, it was…<\/p>\n

…well, memorable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
