First off, I didn't know we had that many Sheriff's in MN! Anyway, on a typical web meandering session I somehow ended up at the site of a former Sheriff in Arizona named Richard Mack. He's been mentioned on this site a couple of times as the guy who sued the government over the Brady Bill.

At the top of his website is a bold headline about a woman named Jean Mitchell who bought 87 copies of Mack's book and personally mailed a copy to all 87 Sheriffs in MN. According to the site, three have sent her thank you notes.
The link to Ms. Mitchell's letter:

Don't know anything about the guy yet, but I found the Minnesota connection interesting.
