Get new keys cut soon in Minnesota

[Wingo]

A silly problem to have, but it is Minnesota after all. My state is so weird. For some reason there hasn't been much desire to fix it and the session is nearly over.

This article isn't as politically one sided mods, sorry, wasn't a lot of articles to choose from.

Granted actual metal keys are slowly becoming obsolete, but still...ridiculous.

That's par for the course in Minnesota.

For cars yea, but still widely used for your house, boat, ATVs, etc.

Leave the state.

I left a state that essentially hated my personal values. So, I took my taxpayer money elsewhere.

Sometimes you need to get behind your values and take action.

Yeah, Minnesota banned youth ATV's and the like due to PFAS in the plastics. I can't wait to retire and move out of this mess. The key thing is an absolute joke.

I'm in full 100% support of this...

Just as long as it only pertains to the douchebags that come up with such commie nonsense...especially in February when it's -38F and they're locked out and frost bitten.

It costs too much for some people to just move to have their freedoms. It all just gets old, and pretty much no one cares.

One could always smuggle in keys cut in the Dakotas, Wisconsin or Iowa.
How silly to ban new key blanks.
