Call TODAY to ensure Self-Defense bills advance in Minnesota Legislature
By AmmoLand Editor Duncan Johnson
Minnesota –-(Ammoland.com)- Earlier this month, two critical pro-Second Amendment bills were heard in the Minnesota House of Representatives Public Safety and Security Policy & Finance Committee:
HF188, authored by Rep. Jim Nash, would make permits to carry optional throughout Minnesota. This concept is known as “Constitutional Carry” and fully recognizes that a law-abiding citizen should not have to beg government permission to carry a firearm. Permits would remain available for individual wishing to carry in other states that recognize the Minnesota Permit to Carry.
HF238, also authored by Rep. Jim Nash, reforms Minnesota’s self-defense laws, codifying decades of case law, expanding castle doctrine, and removing the “duty to retreat” in Minnesota law. This concept is often known as “Stand your Ground”.
Both bills were heard in a committee hearing earlier this month – the bills were held over with the intention of being included in the 2017 Public Safety Omnibus Bill.
If they are not included in the Omnibus, the bills will die until next year.
We need your help TODAY in order to ensure that these bills move forward!
