Sep. 5th, 2008 12:43 amWell, I'm taking the plunge. I take my Minnesota conceal and carry class on Monday. It seems strange I'll have a permit to carry a firearm in public by October. Maybe I need a cowboy hat?
Part of it is curiosity, part of it is wanting to do it, part is just because I can do it, part is wanting the option to carry, and part is additional training. Most of the more advanced firearms training programs require you to be military, police or have a conceal and carry permit as proof of your proficiency with a firearm. I want to take these more advanced classes and sharpen my skills.

The RNC in our city was a flop. The republicans are very nice people who are kinda asshats when you put em' all together. Then there were the anarchists running around with no other agenda than to piss everyone off.
Okay, fine, piss everyone off, whatever floats your boat.
The only time the anarchists disappointed me is when they crashed a small demonstration who's message was to spend less on war and more on feeding starving people. Even when anti-hunger people asked the anarchists to have some respect for their message, not to upset their demonstration, the anarchists crashed it anyways, and the police were involved.
I mean....It's peaceful message about feeding hungry people, that all people should be able to eat. Why fuck with that? We should have sealed the anarchists in wood barrels and tossed them in the Mississippi River. Screw Minnesota nice.
I also have a video in the TiVo of a woman being arrested in downtown St. paul. I thought for sure it was![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sweetalice, the appearance was quite convincing. But my better sense said no. There was some CNN video the next day that was from a different angle and quite a bit closer of the same arrest, and it was not Alice. But I was quite convinced for a full 24 hours it was.

Sleep trouble is back. My restless legs have been crazy, sometimes so bad as to cause involuntary jerking movements. I think there might be more than that, sleep apnea might be occurring. I never wake rested, take hours to fall asleep, and thus 2:00am LJ posts.
I'll need to have a Polysomnogram or "sleep study" sometime in the near future.
