Especially at Streichers. Heck, they've let me unload and try out holsters right in the middle of the store (I asked first, mind you!).

Usually I am offended by this basic question, because on some minor topics that are not of interest to student, they may not pay attention, therefore miss what an instructor might consider, and rightfully so, important information.

But was the topic of Minnesota law and concealment even discussed in your permit class ????

Cobb, I'm quite curious if you have some kind of magic formula that insures people remember everything they hear in your class?
It just might be a little embarrassing after blowing your horn on here and then someone asks a simple question and the word gets out Cobb was their instructor.
I have taken my second class since getting a permit and I certainly don't remember everything I heard in class.
P.S. You were not my instructor for either class.

Those who drafted the law knew about the "printing" issue and wanted to make sure it could not come up here.

When the police chief's assn asked for a concealed requirement, we just said "no." They shrugged and that was the end of it.

In fact, we spent a lot of time just saying "no." That's a lesson the Wisconsin carry people have never learned (take a look at their last bill).

Most good lobbying is invisible.

Yeah, thanks Kimberman and all who helped. Is there anywhere I can read about your guys' fight to get this in place, like the history of trying to get that law into effect? Somebody should write a book. Hint hint... make sure and credit me for the idea

Poke around here in depth, you'll find some of it. There's good stuff buried in these pages, seriously; I'm not giving you the old "search first" speech, I swear...there really is a lot of info on the fight buried here.

Some of it is in a bit more private areas than the rest (e.g. strategy). Keep an eye out here, get together with some of the involved folks here when there's an event, and you'll get the story. Heck, I still have large gaps in my knowledge. Joel's a "young'un" on the activism stuff compared to the folks who really got this moving (like Kimberman), and I'm barely an embryo, but there is always room for more help.

The fight's not over, it's just guerrilla warfare for the moment.

Edited for spelling, wow did my fingers get ahead of my brain.

One of my nits to pick but...
I worry a little when I met some folks who tell me they just got their MN Conceal permit.

If in their class they missed one of the basics about what they were sitting in class to get, what else did they miss?

I don't mean to nit pick either but it's not a MN Conceal permit, it's a permit to carry.
