In MN you can carry in the state buildings and offices (But not the state supreme court buildings) and county courthouses as long as you notify the Director of Public Safety (for state) and the local Sheriff (for the county) in writing. The neat thing is you don't have to be specific as to...

You know, that was always one of my favorites. I really like the sound of it, and I even use it myself.

Here is one at a decent price in .223 http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=82277167

I agree that general carry rights have been infringed and should be restored to the people. Concerning the topic of the thread though, I believe in MN all LEOs are never considered to be off-duty. They have a duty to act in certain situations. Also, you have to consider the dangers of the...

Great! Thank you.

Bit of a thread jack, but has anyone heard of modern soldiers using anything like those "hunting ears" or whatever they are called. The little hearing aids that amplify noise and work as ear plugs when they detect dynamic noises like gun shots. Just wondering.

Does anyone in the Twin Cities area know of a public range where I can work out my rifles? Or perhaps a private range in the north or west or even soutwest metro that is accepting membership applications? Some place with at least a 100 yard range. That isn't asking too much, is it? I have...

Ok. I usually never wear pants with fewer than six pockets. Left Thigh is mobile phone and extra space. Left front pocket is keys and my 5.11 freebie knife. Right front is usually my Kahr PM40 in a pocket holster unless I am carrying something on my hip. Right thigh is my Fenix P3D light...

I have it... I am an EMT and a Park Ranger and I carry a Gerber Hinderer Rescue Knife. It has all you want, and it isn't too spendy. ($60-80 depending on where you buy) http://www.gerbergear.com/product.php?model=1534

I would like a gun similar the the subcompact Kahr's , like a PM40, but with a longer grip (front to back) to accomodate a 10mm. That would be nice: A single stack, subcompact or similar size, 10mm

For me, I have to say the Colt Trooper MKIII that my mom bought for my dad after he got his first police job. It started a legacy of law enforcement and gun ownership in my family and still bears the holster wear of many years of use. There are at least three good stories I know associated...

I have found one such store near my home and have since bought every firearm I own at that establishment. As a matter of fact I went there On Friday and bought a new handgun and ordered a rifle. For those of you in the Twin Cities, MN area I can't stress this enough: Support The Frontiersman...

I'd be interested in a shoot at Bills North. Rather than bashing anyone, I'll just say that The Frontiersman has got to be the best gun shop in the twin cities. No Tactical Toms running around talking about loading M2 ammo into their Desert Eagle to get better stopping power (No kidding, I...

I'm sure I'll be labled the "prejudiced" guy, but have any of you seen the photo of this kid? He's got the "gangsta" hat on sideways with the overly baggy hooded sweatshirt and just looks like a real wannabe thug. I wouldn't base my opinion of this kid solely on his appearance, but when you...

I did this in September. Carried a Colt Trooper mkIII with 180gr Buffalo Bore LFN-GCs. I chose this for the possibility of bear or catamount encounters. Due to wildfires in the BWCA, the wildlife was getting more ambitious about where and what they were willing to eat. We were getting a lot...
