> Dear Marj,
> 
> The "Shoot First bill passed the Minnesota House last night over the 
> objections of the Minnesota associations of police chiefs, police officers, 
> sheriffs, and county attorneys. The bill is on the Governor's desk.
> 
> Call the Governor today to urge him to veto "Shoot First"! Call (651) 
> 201-3400 or (800) 657-3717 and if it's busy, keep calling!
> 
> This extreme bill would allow people to shoot first, ask questions later 
> wherever they feel threatened. It would also force Minnesota to recognize 
> concealed carry permits from all other states, including those with very low 
> standards. Check our website later for a full listing of how House members 
> voted. Those who voted for this should be ashamed of themselves.
> 
> Proponents are pressuring the Governor to sign the bill. Make your voice 
> heard! Call Gov. Dayton today!
> 
> Thank you for all you do,
