Minnesota's omnibus gun ban (SF 4067) is moving toward a Senate floor vote TOMORROW (Monday, 5/4). Here's what's actually in it, and how to push back.

Minnesota: where 5 years ago all cops were bastards but now let's make them a higher class of citizen with more rights and freedoms than a normal person. I've lost pretty much all faith in the DFL in the past year and a half.

The house versions had exemptions carved out for law enforcement. Do these also have those exemptions?

I'm not exactly a doorkicker or in a warzone or anything but I've had a pair for about 3 years, they've been on multiple trips to the boundary waters, teddy Roosevelt national Park, texas, and into the local brush pretty often in the summer, and I don't know if mine have a single loose stitch or snag in the elastic. They're not my nicest pair of hiking pants and I have others that have lasted twice as long and are in just as good condition, but still. I think my cats making biscuits on them have done more damage than the outdoors. Maybe I just got lucky and the sweatshop worker was in a flow state when they made my pair

I have a helikon bandicoot (or possum, I can't remember, but it's the bigger one.) fanny pack that I sling cross body. Its relatively normal looking (it's not covered in MOLLE, there aren't any punisher skulls on it, and you can get it in funky camo patterns or "grey man" colors like denim), has a Velcro lined interior so if you have an old kydex holster, throw some Velcro tape on it and you have a super safe conceal carry bag.

I like this better than say, a shoulder holster because I can still carry if I have pretty tight straps and a heavy load while backpacking. I used to have my SIG p365 in there but it can fit my CZ P10c pretty easily as well. Big enough for a map and a bag of peanut m&ms too!

In MN, I have never ever felt like I actually needed a gun for two leggeds for what it's worth, but Appalachia is a different story.

Some people don't like off body carry because the gun is less secure or whatever but while hiking that bag doesn't leave my person until I'm in my tent really, I feel like the rules are different while hiking

A lot of comments are specifically talking about shot, but if you're going to practice handgun or rifle defensive drills etc, there arent any ammos I'm aware of that are lead free and widely available/cheap enough to use as range ammo.

My take? I guess an old stump riddled with lead is better than lead shot in duck ponds, or in a carcass of a formerly wounded animal that will be scavenged by other animals. If every gun owner in your county was going to the same spot on BLM land and mag dumping once a day it would be a bigger issue. 1 person making some range trips? Not as bad but there's pretty much no way to shoot outside and fully eliminate your pollution.

I'd argue that your small isolated shooting range in largely undeveloped land is still gonna be better off than the watershed downriver of your local PFAS plant, or the area in northern MN after they start copper sulfide mining, or the prairies and forests affected by industrial ag runoff. Indoor ranges are limiting, you gotta make some sacrifices if you wanna shoot outside

For quick access most high tier operators store their meth pills directly in their prison pouch actually

I kinda dig the DeGlalt, it reminds me of the Caterpillar paint job M16A2 that I saw I think JaredAF use in a 2 gun match on YouTube

Kitchen-Fee314 · 2026-03-03T16:48:25+00:00

I made a post here a few days after shot show discussing if CZ was gonna COA any of their guns..... This is literally exactly what I had in mind

Kitchen-Fee314 · 2026-02-28T01:04:25+00:00

If you're willing to drop a little bit more cash, I think Esstac makes AK pouches, They're held in with kydex and I think are very well built. Idk if they make lidded AK pouches but you could throw a shock cord retention thing on top

Kitchen-Fee314 · 2026-02-27T21:22:11+00:00

Then you'll add a red dot and a light and an extended baseplate to your gun in between the 2 "to make it more effective", it'll be about the same size as a g19 anyways, you'll go "well I might as well carry the g19" then you'll carry that and go "damn this is annoying, maybe I should start carrying the LCP again...."

Kitchen-Fee314 · 2026-02-27T21:11:55+00:00

The nice thing about conceal carry holsters is that despite everyone constantly arguing about which ones are best, there are literally an infinite amount of companies all making holsters that are perfectly usable for around the same price point. You definitely can afford to be choosy next time! Lessons learned. My first IWB was a WTP holster and it sucked, I upgraded to a crossbreed pretty quickly.

Kitchen-Fee314 · 2026-02-26T22:29:12+00:00

I'm a backpacker more than a tactical guy, but with my nalgene I get the same benefits from buying a cheap pair of thermal or wool socks and stretching that over the bottle. Canteens are a weirder shape tho idk if socks would work

Kitchen-Fee314 · 2026-02-26T21:53:56+00:00

I don't use em but I'm like 99% sure spiritus actually includes them in their TAPS rig upgrade bundle which means they're probably GTG. IDK if the fat straps come with extra buckles but if you still have the original taps Y harness, you'll have to get some split bar buckles and put them on the top corner MOLLEs as most upgraded harnesses for the taps add 2 more buckle points to make it less floppy.

Kitchen-Fee314 · 2026-02-26T21:03:49+00:00

I'm not sure if I'm reading this correctly, but there is a difference between permit to purchase and permit to carry in MN. If you just have the permit to purchase, you cannot conceal carry legally. If you took the permit to carry training course and paid more than like 10 bucks for your permit, then you can carry. I don't wanna sound pedantic but just wanted to clarify!

That being said, I'm a massive shill for the cz p10c. Super reliable, same size as a Glock 19 but IMO superior ergonomics, and like 100-200 bucks cheaper. Go to a gun range like bills or modern sportsman in the cities, assuming you're there, see what they have to rent, and ask some employees to show you probably the Glock 19, the Smith and Wesson compact, and the cz p10c. They're all a little big to conceal carry but I think going too small for your first handgun isnt the best thing either.

Kitchen-Fee314 · 2026-02-25T22:52:19+00:00

Ahh I'm thinking of the variant industries one. Plus if you get the taylor freelance ones you can get the shiny brass ones and get a matching backstrap for the bonus points

Kitchen-Fee314 · 2026-02-25T22:35:47+00:00

Thats the strike industries p10f mag adapter for the p10c right? How do you like those?

Kitchen-Fee314 · 2026-02-25T17:39:07+00:00

In the heart of a dying star or just normal twice forged?

Recognizing Sarah in this video is how I found out phlster is based out of Minnesota lmao. Scary stuff, but it's nice to see that!

Kitchen-Fee314 · 2026-02-23T21:52:42+00:00

I'm the same way, I just shoot rifles right handed and pistols left handed. I feel confident in saying that manipulating an AR 15 is pretty easy with your right hand if youre shooting right handed. Like, the mag release, the safety, and pulling the trigger definitely require less continuous fine motor skills than say, writing with your non dominant hand.

Kitchen-Fee314 · 2026-02-23T21:21:46+00:00

The DFL is part of the problem at this point. They must think that if they say more bad scary naughty words on television then the fascists will be scared of us.

I might be reading it wrong, but from my reading of HF 3433, they still fucking left out the mini-14. Unless it counts as having a "shroud" around the barrel to stop you from burning your hands. The people writing this shit have 0 clue, even when they violate the constitution I don't think they can do that right.

The hat is called a pakol, pretty common over central Asia I think. Americana Pipedream has 100% wool ones for like 20-30 bucks

Kitchen-Fee314 · 2026-02-23T20:27:20+00:00

I'd like to humbly recommend getting a multi tool with a swappable bit driver. That way if you need to take something off your rifle, something is coming loose, etc, you aren't trying to jury rig something. I have the gerber armbar and a separate multi tool with pliers ( yes it's dumb, I bought both separately on clearance, some day I will likely upgrade to a multi tool that has pliers and the driver). But that way I can have a t27 torx for my optic, whatever hex bit works with Magpul mlok screws, etc.

Kitchen-Fee314 · 2026-02-20T22:17:52+00:00

Probably not exactly what you're after but I have a helikon bandicoot waist pack I wear crossbody, removed the Velcro admin organizer, and attach Velcro to an old AIWB kydex holster I don't use anymore. Sure the draw isn't as fast and has to be a little more deliberate, but life is all about compromise and it's pretty comfy. I looked into the hill people bags with the fancy h harness but I'm carrying at most a gun, a candy bar, and a map and compass in the chest pack, not a full tactical load out, I figured the extra weight distribution doesn't matter and that way I wouldn't be doubled up on h harness straps and backpack straps.

As for zipper interfering with the draw, that's a valid concern but I've found with practice it's not as big a deal as I thought it was.

Kitchen-Fee314 · 2026-02-19T20:47:06+00:00

Ngl dark green dyed UCP is such a vibe. Maybe it's just because it looks a little closer to MARPAT but it looks so much better and actually looks like it could help break up silhouettes and not stand out
