MN Firearms Statutes. Keeping Kids From Toy Guns: How One Mother Changed Her Mind - Christine Gross-Loh - The Atlantic - www.theatlantic.com (HTTP) Is violent play bad? I used to think so. Then I spent some time outside of the United States. When my husband was growing up, the only boy in a family of all girls, his mother didn't allow him to have any toy guns. He was a mild mannered, sweet little boy. But when he was five years old, he ran over to his friend's house and "borrowed" one of the toy guns he had played with over there and coveted, stashing it in his bedroom. For years, every time I heard what has become a famous family story I sided with my mother-in-law. Then my firstborn went to a birthday party. When the boys were three and five we moved to Tokyo.
Their relaxed attitude undoubtedly has as much to do with cultural context as anything else: today in Japan, almost no one owns firearms and there are hardly any deaths by gun. In contrast, in the U.S. we vilify children for even being interested in playing with guns. *This section has been edited for clarity.

MN Firearms Laws. Collecting. Our Catalog. How to Pattern a Shotgun. By Chuck Hawks Shotgun patterns are measured at 40 yards for all gauges, except .410 bore. .410's are patterned at 30 yards. Patterning is a simple process, but time consuming due to all the counting required. Here is the correct way to pattern a shotgun. Set a big piece of blank paper on a frame 40 yards from the muzzle. (Butcher's paper cut into 48" squares works well.) Shoot at the center of the paper.
Draw a 30" diameter circle around the center of the resulting pattern, so that it encloses the greatest number of holes. That is it; you have now officially patterned your shotgun. Pattern percentages will usually (but not always!) The percentage of pellet strikes that constitutes what choke varies, depending on the source. Full Choke: 70% or higher Improved Modified: 65% Modified: 55-60% Skeet No. 2: 55-60% Quarter Choke: 50% Improved Cylinder: 45% Skeet No. 1: 35-40% Cylinder: 35-40%
KNIFE LAWS of the 50 STATES - Introduction and LINKS. Knife Rights - FAQ. Why did you form Knife Rights? We organized Knife Rights in December of 2006 as a result of an article that appeared in the Wall Street Journal article (read the WSJ article in PDF format (1 MB download) or in standard web format as published in another paper). This article served as the catalyst that focused our attention on the threat. We recognized that those with an anti-knife agenda strategically planted the seeds for this article with a reporter they knew would likely end up writing it with the slant they were looking for. Research reveals he'd been their pawn before, writing numerous anti-firearms articles.
By doing so those opposed to freedom significantly escalated the stakes. That isn't being paranoid; it's simply how the system works. That article went unanswered in a timely manner by any of the existing knife organizations. That turned out to be a sound strategy.

Marlin Model 336C. Top Deer Rifles. By Chuck Hawks The discussion about what constitutes a top deer rifle has filled the hours of many a night in hunting camps all over North America. Rather than lump together a collection of diverse rifles, I have divided them into two categories. First are the woods and brush country rifles, most popular in areas where shots are usually within 200 yards or less. I usually prefer short action cartridges for such rifles, as they have plenty of power and reach for the conditions and make for a slightly shorter, handier rifle. A reasonably compact variable power scope in the 1-4x, 1.5-6x, or 2-7x range nicely complements the woods rifles listed below, as will a 2.5x fixed power scope. Second are the long range deer rifles. These are appropriate when shots are likely to run over 200 yards, and may run 300 yards or even farther.
Note that the rifles in each category are listed in alphabetical order rather than any order of preference. Short to medium range hunting (woods and brush rifles) No. Marlin Owners forum.
2nd Amendment issues. Shooting Ranges. Handgunlaw.us. National park carry in Minnesota - Minneapolis gun rights. It has been just over three weeks since a change to federal law , signed nine months ago by President Obama, went into effect allowing the laws of the state encompassing a national park to govern whether citizens may legally carry firearms into the park. During the last few weeks, Minnesota Public Radio News has featured several reports on the impact the change will have on visitors to Minnesota’s magnificent national parks which will now be governed by Minnesota state firearm laws. The only problem with the series is that, even with the nine month lead time, park spokesmen do not yet seem to fully understand the law. In one report , Voyageurs National Park Superintendent Mike Ward is reported as properly commenting that "[p]eople who wish to take handguns into the park can do so as long as they comply with all applicable Minnesota laws.
" He correctly cites to Minnesota Statute 624.714 to support this assertion. Why is this important? I think I speak for all of us when I say "Thank you! " DefensiveCarry.com.
