    I was hoping this thread meant one of the good, substantial bills (like SB0100 or HB0767), still bottled up yesterday, got uncorked in time to make crossover day. Now I am back to being depressed. thanks!

    The bill is cross filed, so it doesn't need to crossover, both chambers could vote for the identical bill independently and have it land on the governor's desk.

    Just woke up. Who the heck typed that fantasy?

    I'm a little concerned about the bills themselves. SB100 just added the text "SELF-DEFENSE OR"

    has good and substantial reason to wear, carry, or transport a
    2 handgun, such as SELF–DEFENSE OR a finding that the permit is necessary as a
    3 reasonable precaution against apprehended danger.

    It just seems that the wording is poor, and MSP can still try to wiggle their way around this one. I'd rather see Self Defense is explicitly accepted as a good and substantial reason. Anyone else see this flaw?

    I think it very difficult for any bureaucrat to deny a permit submitted under "self-defense".

    MSP has said in the past that they could issue a permit in < 24 hours if there was a need. I would think that such quick issue would be for "finding that the permit is necessary as a reasonable precaution against apprehended danger."

    Everyone else waits the 90 days.

    Yeah that bothers me as well, Define "SELF-DEFENSE"

    i always wondered that the money was more important than people.
    always wondered why that was the case.
    i could see the armoued car guards cause its a lot of money and that would be a great deal of money and thus possibility of a lot of violence with collerateral damage.
    now as a retired police sgt i can carry under leosa but having said that i have always thought good and substantial should apply to everyone except criminals.
    also ironic until the 2013 law those who got permits, except security guards didnt have any training or qualls to get a carry permit hell theyu didnt need to know which end of the barrel the bullet came out of. i knew of a guy who had a permit who didnt know that fact hard to believe isnt it
