    Yeah, tell that to the folks of Charlie Hebdo and innocent civilians in France.

    Look, I'm not bemoaning you for using an angle and playing the game; if I could, I would too.

    I'm Pissed at the game! You don't have any more heightened scrutiny than any other US Citizen. PERIOD! But so much for equal protection.

    Keep moving forward, we need more permits in general.

    I was right bro........

    Interesting that one of her investigation methods is to "see" if you look "crazy". Are the MSP investigating Troopers licensed mental health professionals?

    Slightly subjective if I do say so, but,.... they know it when they see it, so.....

    I kept thinking about this post when I was there.. :lol2:
    My wife dared me to put on a Tourette display at the interview.

    That might be it.

    Serious question - have any states with democrat controlled legislatures expanded Second Amendment rights in recent memory?

    Illinois two(?) years ago went shall issue, from no issue. It was court directed, but they did it.

    Sort of. The options they had were: do nothing, and basically have FOID carry be the default law, or pass may-issue, or pass shall-issue. Both sides didn't like the FOID carry (our side wouldn't have pre-emption, their side wouldn't get the extra requirements like training and fees). So when forced, shall-issue easily won over may-issue.

    Only for residents of ME, non-residents still need permits and new requirement to immediately notify LEO during traffic stop.

    But great news anyway!

    Looks like that's only for those w/o permits, or maybe recognized permits. Their new reciprocity law (still not in effect until October I think) will be a "You recognize us, we recognize you" law just like WV,FL, CO and others.

    LE notification is for those carrying without a permit. see my post above.

    Permitless carry will apply to everyone, not just residents.

    Effective date Oct 15, 2015

    But will that be for reciprocal permits only or any permit? Though they'll be ConCarry, they technically won't recognize all other permits.

    if there is no reciprocity then they are technically carrying permitless, so notification will be required.

    IANAL.

    is that the question?

    Iowa in 2011 passed shall-issue with a Dem House, Senate and Governor. https://www.nraila.org/articles/20100429/iowa-s-governor-signs-shall-issue-bill-1

    IMO much of it has to do with urban/suburb as compared to rural politicians, sometimes even more so than Dem v. GOP.

    Having recently moved from the midwest, the Iowa democrats are very different from our democrats. Iowa is largely D for one main reason, farmers. Farm subsidies are a way of life out there. Many democrats out there are opposed to a good portion of the more liberal agenda, especially concerning guns and welfare programs (farmers excluded, of course). There is still a feeling, however, that going back to the great depression and FDR, the democrats are the ones that saved the farmers.

    Leave it to the leftists to bilk the taxpayers to pay farmers to lower production to keep prices inflated. Still going on today.. We pay 200% the world rate for sugar. You ever wonder too why so much damn corn is grown here? :innocent0

    Even if the proverial astroid hit the hypothetical State House, the replacements would still be elected from martymandered districts. Would create a free for all with everyone having zero seniority.
