"Right to Carry" in Minnesota


I posted on this earlier this month but with a Twin Cities focus.

Today's Star Tribune reports that statewide gun-carry law hasn't produced more crime.

Excerpt:

Tens of thousands more Minnesotans licensed to carry handguns in public haven't turned the state into the Wild West shootout that gun-control advocates warned of. But they also have not done much to curb violent crime, a benefit that many gun-rights proponents predicted when the state's permitting law was liberalized.

Comment:

It's obviously a choice as to whether own a handgun or not. But the 2nd Amendment guarantees that choice.
