Minn. group picks up road trash while packing heat

MENDOTA HEIGHTS, Minn. -- Motorists in Mendota Heights might have seen a group of residents picking up trash while packing heat this weekend. About a dozen people spent nearly three hours picking up litter Sunday along a 2-mile stretch of highway. All legally carried guns on their hips. It was the inaugural trash cleanup event for the group that calls itself the Minnesota Carry Permit Holders.

The Minnesota Department of Transportation said the group is legal, and it appreciates their efforts to keep the roadside clean.

The group members met online and decided to get together and do something good for the community.

One member is Jason Walberg, who collected trash with a semiautomatic handgun on his belt. He jokes their adopted highway is the safest stretch of road in the state.

One of the participants in the Minnesota event was interviewed on NRA's "Cam & Company". To view it:


  • Go to NRA
  • At the top of the screen, click on “Program Archive”
  • On the top right, click on the “October 27” tab
  • Scroll down and click on the “Jason Walberg” story

Excellent.

Invariably, though, there will be those who will make their views known as to how undeserving the group is, and how insulting the assignment of that stretch of roadway to such a group as theirs, blah blah blah. There were even such statements of worry and fear-mongering from some in the media.

The "Cam & Co." video on the NRA site was nicely done. Telling the truth, simply. I've seen a number of interviews done by Cam, previously. He's not so in-your-face as some, but he goes right for the jugular with simple, clear questions. As for the Minnesota OC group, it's nice to see a good group doing a publicly-visible community service like that. Good idea. The Adopt-A-Highway thing is something that CC and OC groups in every state can do.

Kudos, MN OC! :bier:
