Residents of Vadnais Heights may want to follow a Minnesota legislative proposal concerning sheriffs slam ’s gun control proposals: ‘extremely intrusive’.
"As sheriff, one of my responsibilities is to protect the citizens I serve against violations of their constitutional rights," one of the sheriffs said.
There are four gun control bills currently making their way through the committee process, but Clearwater County Sheriff Darin Halverson and Itasca County Sheriff Joe Dasovich are most concerned with HF396, a safe storage mandate.
The bill would require gun owners to store firearms unloaded with a locking device and apart from ammunition whenever they are not being carried.
Homeowners will be forced to have a permit to carry in their OWN home to have a loaded gun, even in a quick lock box, at the ready to defend themselves.
Or they will be committing a crime.
