DAILY ACTION: Tell your lawmakers to support Stand Your Ground…

It’s Wednesday and the legislature will not be in floor session today – however, there will be several committee meetings in both the House and Senate.

Here’s what has happened this week & what’s coming up

• Yesterday, two pro-gun bills dropped:
  • HF 268:  Constitutional Carry (Permitless Carry)
  • HF 280:  Teacher and School Staff Carry
• Yesterday, House Leadership announced that the Public Safety Committee meetings would be moved from a room without cameras in the basement of the State Office Building to Room 120 of the State Capitol. Meetings would now be live-streamed and available for public viewing.

  This is a huge victory for gun owners and transparency!  See Rob’s live video on Facebook from yesterday about why this is so important.

• New bills will continue to be dropped throughout the week. We’re on the lookout for new gun control bills – and we’ll let you know as soon as we see what’s in them.

TODAY’S DAILY ACTION

Today’s daily action is to tell lawmakers to support HF 268 – Constitutional Carry (Permitless Carry), which was introduced yesterday by Representative Steve Drazkowski.

• FIRST, LEARN ABOUT THE BILLS THROUGH OUR BILL TRACKER.  Visit our Bill Tracker and learn about the legislation – and who currently is co-sponsoring this bill. Check and see if your Representative is one of the co-sponsors.
• THEN TELL YOUR LAWMAKERS TO SUPPORT STAND YOUR GROUND.  Use our new Action Center to quickly send a message to your State Representative to support HF 268 – Constitutional Carry.
  • Send an e-mail through our action center
  • Then give your lawmakers a call using the call/phone tab in our action center
  • Finally, if you’re on Twitter, send a tweet at your legislators telling them to support this pro-gun rights legislation.

Right now, we are only targeting the Minnesota House as a Senate version of this bill has not (yet) been introduced.

In the midst of the current gun control onslaught, particularly in the Minnesota House, it’s good to see good pro-gun rights legislation introduced and pushed on offense, rather than just constantly playing defense throughout the session.
