Showing Original Post only (View all)A GOPer in my state opposes gun storage because you might have to shoot a cow. [View all]
While arguing against a proposal for safe storage requirements for firearms, Minnesota state Sen. Warren Limmer (R-Maple Grove) contended that rural citizens need guns readily available to deal with cows.
You even walk too close to a cow, and itll take you down and trample you into dust, Limmer said. Fumbling around with a lock while a cow or a bull or any other animal is going after your daughter or your son you cant fumble around with a key or try and find the lockbox or put your thumb on a biometric key of some sort in your home while the danger is outside. This bill puts those individuals in even more danger.

Wow, I didn't know you had to pack heat around cows. Or do only GOPers have to do that because cows know they're galactically stupid and might want to trample them just for that reason?

Should one live in such a dangerous insane cow infested environment, I am sure you could get a carry permit.
