A bill to expand the self-defense definition that lets gun owners use deadly force failed a House committee vote yesterday. Rep. Tony “Stand Your Ground” Cornish, R-Good Thunder, says he still might try inserting the legislation as an amendment into another bill. Among other things, it would eliminate the requirement to retreat before firing on someone threatening. It could be worse. A lot worse. Last night the Colbert Report introduced us to a state senator from Tennessee who wants to legalize guns in bars.

You do know, of course . . . . . . that it’s perfectly lawful, in Minnesota, to carry a handgun in a bar as long as, of course, you have a carry permit.
Or don’t you?

Silence . . . . . . well, you know how it goes; I’ll take your silence as your admission that you didn’t know what the law is in Minnesota, and that your worries about the sky falling are, well, a little chicken.
So to speak.
