Someone from Minnesota said that?

Minnesota has "shall issue" concealed carry. They are big D state, but their "D"s are "different".

For instance:

Certainly one of the chief guarantees of freedom under any government, no matter how popular and respected, is the right of citizens to keep and bear arms ... The right of citizens to bear arms is just one guarantee against arbitrary government, one more safeguard, against the tyranny which now appears remote in America but which historically has proven to be always possible."

-- Hubert H. Humphrey, Senator, Vice President, 22 October 1959

If you are going to offer quotes from 1959 I can give you some of the greatest American conservatives that ever lived — from California.

Humphrey was an odd duck. I never have known what to make of him.
