This is just MN state law, but looks pretty clear to me, that carry permits are not issued to (suspected)gang members here. While i don't agree with the application of this law, it is the law here. I no more wan't to see people on a database of suspected gang members, lose second amendment rights, than i want to see people not allowed to fly, based on being placed on a (terror watch)list.
