Let's keep up the pressure so we don't lose or severly limit the new CCW law in Minnesota. I received this email from the CCRN group and we need to keep the pressure up. And any out of state folks that want to help us out with a couple emails are greatly appreciated. Under the new law we generally do recognize out of state premits. Feel free to repost. Anyway, here's the email with important links:

Dear CCRNers:

Whew! Let's take a breath and see where things stand: An update
on Ramsey County, your county commissioners and city council,
and now the opposition is after Target stores.

LIVE IN RAMSEY COUNTY OR ST PAUL? KEEP UP THE PRESSURE! --
The county commissioners have put off the vote until next week
(9:00 AM, Tuesday, June 24th 2003). A StarTribune report:

http://www.startribune.com/stories/462/3942482.html

You can find your Ramsey County commissioners at:

http://www.co.ramsey.mn.us/cb/index.asp

You can email all Ramsey County commissioners using the "EMAIL
THE ENTIRE BOARD" link at http://www.mnccrn.org/

LIVE ELSEWEHRE? COMMISSIONERS & COUNCILS NEED TO HEAR YOU! --
Even if *your* county or city boards have not yet taken a position
on permit holders, we *still* need to tell them where we stand.

Call, email, or write your county and city board members and
tell them (politely but clearly):

"Don't even *think* about banning carry permit-holders! I'm
a law-abiding citizen and I vote!"

Then add your own opinion. These comparisons will help you:

Prevention is *always* less expensive than "treatment!"

TARGET NEEDS YOUR THANK YOUS... -- Target doesn't ban permit-holders,
but the opposition wants to see it happen.

It's time to say "Thank you, Target, this law-abiding citizen
will be shopping there!"

You can email your "Thank you" to:

guest.relations@target.com

(or use the "Target" link at http://www.mnccrn.org/)

Send a card to:

Robert J. Ulrich
Target Corp.
PO Box 9350
Minneapolis, MN 55440

Remember, too, that Target, Marshall Field's, and Mervyns stores
are all part of Target Corporation (http://www.targetcorp.com/).

...LUNDS/BYERLY'S STILL NEED THANK YOUS... -- These folks really
do respect law-abiding carry permit-holders. Email thanks to:

Michelle.Croteau@lfhi.com

(or use the "Lunds/Byerly's" link at http://www.mnccrn.org/)

Send a thank you to:

Lunds & Byerly's
Lunds Food Holdings Inc
4100 West 50th Street
Edina, Minnesota 55424

...SO DO LEGISLATORS -- Keep those thank you cards rolling into
MPPA legislators. Mailing labels, for all legislators that
supported MPPA, can be found at:

It's all unexpected work, folks, but we've got to be pro-active
again, as the opposition just won't let this end.

It's all unexpected work, folks, but we've got to be pro-active again, as the opposition just won't let this end.

To give credit where credit's due, Minnesota's leftist extremist snivellers and whiners are rewriting the sore losers' handbook.

It happens everywhere, the hurt and offended anti-gun bowell movements tell all the stores to post agaist CCW because they might be sued otherwise. I suspect Target is used to this uproar and knows that they will loose more business and hear a lot more complaints if they post the signs than if they dont.

Signs went up all over Texas before 1-1-96 and came down just about as rapidly over the next few months. New Mexico had the same thing the first time they passed CCW.

I haven't heard of Briarly's but I deplore any store that sounds like it is located in a shopping mall and ends with apostrophy Ess
I had two xwives who parastaltically emptied my bank accounts at such establishments.
