Terrorist attack improves changes of passage of concealed carry law says Governor:

The terrorist attacks last month could add a new dimension to a debate over a bill that would make it easier for Minnesotans to carry guns in public, Gov. Jesse Ventura said Monday. "It could be fairly high on the legislative agenda when they come back in February," Ventura said on KSTP-AM radio. "Right now I'm not hearing anything out of the gun control people after this attack. The gun control people are amazingly silent right now. They're not out there yelling and hollering to take everyone's guns away from them."

Only the Senate stood in the way of changes to the concealed-carry gun law last session. The changes would have limited discretion local police now have to deny permits and allowed most law-abiding, mentally competent adults who pass a background check and undergo training to get one.

Ventura supports loosening permit rules for non-criminals who complete gun-safety training and skills testing.
