Maybe not. If the NFL caves, it will only be for special people with badges. They know it.

Current Minnesota law requires anyone who possesses a pistol in a public place to have a permit, but police officers are exempted from that requirement. The lawsuit claims that the NFL's policy does not acknowledge the state's exemption.

"By prohibiting licensed police officers from maintaining possession of their service weapon, the National Football League not only violates the law, but places the public and law enforcement at unnecessary risk while impairing the legal status of police officers, the very people willing to put their lives on the line to protect the public every day," Dennis Flaherty, executive director of MPPOA, claimed in an interview with KMSP

What about those people who carry a gun on the daily, who are NOT LEO, but are willing to put their life and freedom on the line to stop something bad from happening? But we're not the "special class" and do not deserve to protect ourselves. Let's leave that to the professionals.

They only want off duty cops to carry. They still want to obstruct citizen carry.

Sorry for the dupe. Searched "MN NFL"...should have been a little more exact. Yep it's all about the non-duty LEO being able to carry...the rest of you law-abiding citizens take a back seat where you belong.
