http://www.twincities.com/mld/pioneerpress/6787684.htmSo far some guy up Anoka way tried to kill the engine of his brother's car. That cost him his permit to carry. And another guy, from the southern end of the metro, had his permit-to-carry privileges lifted after he was discovered to be standing in some other guy's yard yelling at him, then threatening him with his automobile.
Institutionally we — I don't know, elitists, people with access to ink, women — are out to pinpoint every infraction regarding the new law even when the facts suggest we are barking up the wrong tree. The best we have been able to accomplish so far is two permits lifted out of 8,000 issued by sheriffs across Minnesota in the last three months.
Have you heard the car-theft story? This was late July. A private investigator saw a car he knew to be stolen on Lexington in the Midway area. He pulled his gun on the driver and called police on his cell phone. When the police arrived they told the fellow to put down his gun. The citizen told police that he had a permit to carry. He produced it. It was verified. The car thief was arrested and our hero drove away.
That's the best the other side has come up with, meaning the score stands at two lifted permits and one case of a private investigator pulling his gun.
So where are we since the new law went into place? Well, we're exactly where we were before the new law went into place, law abiding.
