Under a bill authored by Rep. Lynda Boudreau (R-Faribault), police would be *required* to issue a permit within 15 days of an application unless the applicant fails a background check.
"The current law is unfair and discriminatory because local officials have the power to arbitrarily deny requests," said Boudreau. "The established human right to protection must be realized in Minnesota."

The suit was brought on behalf of the family of Barry Grunow, a FL teacher shot in school by a 13-year-old student. The gun distributor, Valor, filed for dismissal because the suit has no merit under FL law. The court denied that motion, holding that Valor could be liable for selling a gun that was "unreasonably dangerous and defective" because it lacked a locking system or other safety feature to prevent unauthorized use. |

"The year 2001 hasn�t had a chance to truly establish itself and already we have a clear picture of what the anti-gun forces have in mind: Attack! Not surprisingly, those dedicated to an �America without guns� used the tragic shootings in Massachusetts, Illinois and outside the White House to amplify their gun-ban message." -Russ Thurman |

A cornerstone of the U.S. government�s argument in the case of U.S. v. Emerson is the long-held position of the Deparment of "Justice" that the Second Amendment protects a "collective" right rather than an individual one. -- That argument may be on a collision course with the philosophy espoused recently by US Attorney General John Ashcroft. |

"States are now widely understood to be instruments at the service of their peoples, and not vice versa. At the same time individual sovereignty -- by which I mean the fundamental freedom of each individual, enshrined in the charter of the U.N. ... When we read the charter today, we are more than ever conscious that its aim is to protect individual human beings, not to protect those who abuse them." --Kofi Annan |

"While we can't legislate what parents teach their children, and while it will be nearly impossible (but still should be attempted) to let teachers teach right from wrong, we definitely can legislate in favor of gun possession for law abiding people. Let ordinary citizens and a few schoolteachers follow their own consciences in arming to defend themselves, and watch the school shootings go away." -Brad Edmonds |

"I had a dream that all the politicians of all political persuasions decided that the government had grown vastly too large and too powerful. That it had become corrupt and unresponsive. That it was swayed by notions that really had nothing to do with what was good for people, but rather that which was good for government." |

The compromised plan approves expanding permit exemptions to allow sheriffs, deputy sheriffs, jailers, and alcoholic beverage control officers to carry concealed weapons at any time anywhere in the state; but not state insurance investigators, coroners, airport police, university police, or school security officers. Also dropped was the proposal to allow court officers to carry a concealed weapon in a courthouse. |

Check this story out in today's Detroit Free Press. It is amazingly fair and balanced, especially for the usually far left 'Free Press'. |

TO REMEMBER |
| America does not go abroad in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all. She well knows that by one enlisting under other banners than her own, were they even the banners of foreign independence, she would involve herself beyond the power of extrication in all the wars of interest and intrigue, of individual avarice, envy and ambition, which assume the colors and usurp the standards of freedom. � JOHN QUINCY ADAMS (1821) |
