One of the most important things you learn in Minnesota carry permit training is that having that permit doesn’t make you a junior lawman. Find me a legal carry permit holder who believes that their permit entitles them to wade into disputes, gun drawn, like Dwight Schrute, and I’ll show you someone who should probably have their permit re-examined.<\/p>\n
But it’s hard to find those examples \u2013 because carry permit holders almost never do anything quite that stupid. Are there examples? I’m sure there are, somewhere \u2013 there are likely several million carry permitees nationwide, and in a group that large, you’re going to have someone who screws up, sometime. I just can’t think of any recent examples right now. I doubt you can either.<\/p>\n
Now, if you follow any of the “Gun Grabber”\u00a0chat rooms and Facebook pages you’ll find all sorts of bellicose talk from anti civil rights people<\/a>; claims that they’ll raise a commotion if they see someone with a permitted firearm, or even make up crimes and call the police.<\/p>\n Few of them (outside the media<\/a>) have done anything about it so far.<\/p>\n
