Yesterday the Senate Judiciary Committee gave House Bill 1169 – otherwise known as Constitutional Carry – a "Do Pass" recommendation. The vote was 4-2 with Senators Carolyn C. Nelson (D – District 21) and Arne Osland (R – District 20) being the two dissenting votes.
Now is the time! According to the Senate calendar, HB 1169 is scheduled to be on the floor of the Senate TODAY at just after 1pm. It is vital that everyone contact the Senate and respectfully encourage them to give this bill a green vote. In addition to doing this yourself, please share this information with others and ask them to do the same ASAP!
This is our opportunity to finally honor the spirit and letter of the Federal and State Constitutions in regards to the "right to keep and bear arms". Please don’t let this opportunity pass you by to let your voice be heard.
T. Arthur Mason is a native North Dakotan who has spent nearly all of his life in the Peace Garden State. As the third of four children in Western North Dakota, Mason grew to appreciate family and the outdoors. Some of his fondest memories are annual deer hunts with family and friends.
In his early teenage years, faith became a central part of T. Arthur Mason's life. He and the majority of his family attend church together on a weekly basis and find this a fulfilling aspect of their lives.
Through the influence of his father, T. Arthur Mason became intrigued with politics. As a boy, he attended political events with his father and enjoyed the friendships that resulted as a byproduct of those political associations. As Mason grew older, he became convinced that the quote often attributed to Thomas Jefferson was true, "That government is best which governs least."
Today, T. Arthur Mason enjoys time with his wife and children, an occasional hunt, and an increasingly active life on the political scene. This blog is the fulfillment of a dream to design a web site in the realm of politics and to advocate for the principles of Liberty and constitutionally limited government.
On behalf of all those that contribute to The Minuteman, we hope you enjoy your time on the site and will share the message with others.
