re: #37 Quoth the raven, Covfefe.

MN just got rid of their ban on Sunday liquor sales. The liquor stores opened the Sunday before the 4th of July. It is a glorious thing.

As long as I’ve lived here there hasn’t been a ban on Sunday liquor sales.

Liquor sales are controlled by counties and municipalities, but licenses are issued by the state government. Thus, some municipalities prohibit sales on Election Day, others on Sundays, &c. State law does not prohibit children from being in a bar, but municipalities and counties can put restrictions on it. (Our village ordinances require children to be in the company of an adult and out of the bar by 9PM.)

We have only two places that sell liquor (the general store and the bar). Municipalities and counties can also issue special alcohol permits for specific events (thus we issue them for the annual town party and the occasional fund raiser for the fire department).
