It seems that Minneapolis has hit a new low, my lovelies. Riddle me this...
It is possible for me to *legally* walk through the city with a sawed off shotgun, walk in to most respectable, paying, upscale establishments, park myself next to Suzy Sunshine, and keep that loaded weapon pointed at her and her funtastic family the entire time I gobble my brie and fruit masterpiece. As long as it's concealed under my jacket or hidden in my purse of course. However, now picture me (decked out in something black and form fitting) stationed at a shi-shi joint on the strip. Some guy is really fucking irritating, all up and in my buznASS, and beginning to drool down my shirt. The last thing I need is him incoherently babbling over the top of a hundred other incoherently babbling losers. It is now IL-legal for me to pull out an au-natural cigarette and puff some natural remedy his icky, deserving way.
Just so we're clear, guns are ok. Cigarettes of any kind -- anywhere -- NOT ok. Making sense yet?
Don't get me wrong. I fork over any amount of money and I'm irritated that the smell of cigarette smoke is in the air. But where in the FUCK have the brain cells of our lawmakers gone when we're allowed to conceal and carry *WEAPONS OF DESTRUCTION* but not allowed to carry a pack of cigs?
All that AND this in the local headlines tonight: "Man Gunned Down After Running To Minneapolis Convenience Store For Help".
Anyone else troubled by the state of the FUCKED UP affairs in our homeland besides me?

So what is the law exactly? You can only smoke in your house, in bed, under the sheets with the lights off? Just claifying
Good point. The law is that you're only allowed to smoke in public places - no restaurants, no bars, no bowling alleys, no nuthin. If you're standing on the sidewalk you can.
My apologies - I got so hyped up that I missed a critical thing about the gun, um.. thing. Steve is so nice to have set me straight.
Well, that and I don't have a TV.
